How does the process of metamorphosis in a butterfly raises contribute to its transformation from a caterpillar to a beautiful winged insect?

During metamorphosis, a butterfly undergoes significant changes in its body structure and organs. The process involves four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult (butterfly). The caterpillar forms a chrysalis, where its body breaks down into a liquid form and reorganizes into the adult butterfly. This transformation allows the butterfly to develop wings, antennae, and other adult features necessary for survival and reproduction.

What is the process of a worm transforming into a butterfly inside a cocoon?

During metamorphosis, a worm transforms into a butterfly inside a cocoon through four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly.

Finally, the adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis and begins its life cycle.
