Black caterpillars transform into butterflies during their life cycle.
Garden Tiger Moth caterpillars are born from an egg. The nymphs grow large and spin themselves into a cocoon after which they hatch as a moth.
Eggs laid in small clusters on host tree, caterpillars hatch after a couple weeks and spend 6-8 weeks eating leaves, caterpillars make a silken cocoon, and the moth hatches after a few weeks in the cocoon (or a few months if it needs to overwinter in the cocoon). The adult moth doesn't eat and dies after only a week or two.

The grey cocoon is where a butterfly undergoes metamorphosis, transforming from a caterpillar into a butterfly. It serves as a protective covering during this crucial stage of development.
Carnivorous caterpillars have the same life style and reproduction as any other caterpillars. They will be a caterpillar until it builds a cocoon to become a moth or butterfly.
When a caterpillar seals itself inside a cocoon the old body is broken down in the last life cycle. Numbers are not recorded about the issue but at this life stage, any predator or object can break the chrysalis causing death.

The butterfly's pupa stage is spent inside a cocoon
The life cycle of a moth consists of four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. The moth lays eggs on a suitable plant, which hatch into caterpillars. The caterpillar then undergoes metamorphosis inside a chrysalis before emerging as an adult moth.
