Imagine a house made from blue Legos. This is your caterpillar; the color represents the DNA. When the caterpillar goes into its cocoon, it is like taking all the Legos apart and putting them back together as something different. This cannot change the color of the Legos. The caterpillar and butterfly are made out of the same cells, with the same DNA, just put back together in a different shape.

Most of the caterpillar seems to dissolve into a organic sludge, and due to the miracle of life and DNA, this re-assembles itself into the butterfly! Which eventually emerges from the cocoon, and spends a few minutes pumping up its wings to become more rigid, and flies off.
