A healthy Caterpillar can turn either into a moth or a butterfly depending on its species. Butterflies are members of just a few of the families of the insect order Lepidoptera. The members of the other families are all called moths.  There are estimated to be about 10,000 species of moths. The adults of the butterfly families have some features in common: \nthey fly in the daytime (most moths fly at night), \nthey have a naked pupa (most moths have cocoons), \nthe adults have filamentary antenna with a knob on the end\n(most moths, especially the males, have feathery antennae), and they fold their wings up vertically above the body when at rest (most moths fold them over like a tent shape).

Here's an answer to that question from an entomologist.

so if a butterfly flaps its wings it creates a tiny bit of wind, right? the theory is that if that butterfly creates that bit of wind, it changes the strength of the wind overall, and so alters the weather, and the weather alters peoples' plans and the survival of species and a million other things... \n\nit's one way of saying that nothing is so insignifigant that it doesn't make a difference, and the smallest things can still have huge impacts. it's a metaphor for chaos theory.\n\ni reccommend the second link, it's more fun. wikipedia is more informative, though.

They go to the trees and hide in the leaves.  Butterflies can get wet, and they can get cold, but cold and wet will kill them.

It's an Arctiidae (tiger moth) larvae. If you upload a picture and the region where you live, I might be able to tell you the species.

None of the above.  Just as you move your arms, so the butterfly moves its wings.
