What is is a Caterpillar?
A caterpillar is the larva stage of a butterfly or moth. A caterpillar hatches from the eggs of a butterfly or a moth. After a given amount of time, it then forms a cocoon, a casing of filament spun from its own silk glands. The caterpillar remains in this cocoon for protection while its body transforms into a butterfly or moth.

What do larva turn into?
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.
What do caterpillars do in the cocoon?
Before a caterpillar makes a cocoon, it eats like crazy increasing its size. Then it finds an appropriate place to make a cocoon where it is unlikely to get eaten while it changes into an adult insect.
How do butterflies make there cocons?
Butterflies don't make cocoons - caterpillars do. They produce silk (similar to a spider) which they form into a cocoon while they change from caterpillar to butterfly.
