Metamorphosis is the series of developmental stages insects go through to become adults. Butterflies and moths have four stages of life: egg, larva (the caterpillar stage), pupa (the chrysalis phase), and adult.

When it is ready, the caterpillar will find a suitable place and attach itself to a leaf with a sticky substance. This substance hardens to become the chrysalis (similar to a cocoon). The caterpillar sheds its exoskeleton for the last time. After 1-2 weeks, a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
