Right.

Yes.

It's actually the life stage.

Like the caterpillar is the larval life stage.

The butterfly or the moth is the adult.

The pupa is the life stage in between.

But for all intents and purposes, you can also say that's a butterfly pupa or that's a moth pupa, right?

That's the easiest, most understandable part of it.

It starts to get really strange from there because the butterfly caterpillar, when it emerges from that fifth molt, it has a special kind of skin on it.

And over time, when it turns upside down and hangs from a leaf,

and begins its transformation.

That skin hardens, and it forms basically the protective layer that's going to protect that caterpillar-turned-butterfly as it undergoes its transformation.

And that's called a chrysalis.

But just butterfly caterpillars do that, right?

Not moths.

And then I think it's just moths, because they don't form chrysalis or chrysalis, they are the only ones to spin a cocoon to protect themselves, correct?

Yeah, it's the outer layer of skin.

Yeah.

Right.

So imagine if you underwent this transformation.
