Do caterpillars know they will be butterflies?
Doubtfully, but more importantly, why does it matter. 'Knowing' implies cognitive thought which means a caterpillar would have a capacity by which it could process information, which in humans is a brain. Though a human baby is born with a brain, it is just starting to develop the concept of future so s/he is not aware of becoming an adult.

Moths do not turn into butterflies. Moths and butterflies are both lepidopteran insects, but the butterfly is active only during the daytime and the moth is most active at night.
