They both undergo a complete change in appearance.
Butterflies will normally start off life as a caterpillar, after eating their fill the pupate and undergo "metamorphasis", changing from a worm-like insect into a winged butterfly.
In the same way metamorphic rock can be either sedimentary or ifneous in origin, normally it is then heated (or melted again) forming a new type of material. Example, sandstone (sedimentary rock) can be heated to melting point, once it hardens it has become a new type of metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rock often has intrusions of the original parent material in it, making for interesting samples.
