Caterpillars undergo complete metamorphosis to become butterflies, and they can be identified by their physical characteristics such as body segments, coloration, and hairiness (hairy caterpillars typically become moths, while smooth caterpillars usually become butterflies).

Added:Anybody know kind of caterpillar this is?
Need some help identifying kind of butterfly is that going to be?
I've never seen one in all my life with these colors. Oops. Where'd he go? There he is.
Check him out.
Lots of segments on this guy. He is cruising.
Sorry I can't put really cool music to this movement.
Check him out, though. He's pretty awesome.
Anybody know what it'll be?
Looking for cover.
I don't think that works.
You might need something a little bigger than that.
That's not going to work. Come out of there. Can I dig you a hole?
No, he changed his mind completely.
Let's see where else he goes.
Just a chubby caterpillar moving along the step.
Anybody have any idea what he's going to turn into?
Funky ain't he?
Yeah.
Like to see him get somewhere safe.
He doesn't really have a scary head or anything.
What do you think there, Pik me? It's going to turn into Oh, any thoughts?
I think he looks bigger on camera than he is in real life.
I'd like to see him get somewhere safe cuz right now he's in he's in stomping territory.
You know, it t the season for caterpillars and you know, everybody's getting fat on vegetation, living out their cycle.
Maybe he'll go down in there.
I don't know.
It's kind of neat how they look like they know where they're going.
You know, never seen a caterpillar that had so much pink before.
Like he's green on his sides. Well, greenish yellow.
He's a butterfly cuz he has no hairs.
Usually the hairy ones are moths.
So, he's some kind of butterfly.
I think they're fun to watch, aren't they?
Looking for a place. He does not look like a mother, but he's a caterpillar. Right now, heroes will turn into a cat.
I mean, a butterfly. I am new. You are also ridiculous.
[laughter] Come on now.
What does new have to do with saying something that makes sense?
You're not new to the world, so I'm sorry. I have higher expectations for you, Alicia.
Oh, I think he's going to go down into this little crevice here.
That'll be a safe space for him.
I sure want to see him get squished.
No guesses on what he'll be, huh?
Oh, I thought for sure you'd go down in there.
No kidding.
I wonder if he's regretting that move.
Should I go in reverse?
You can't dig there. That's a mat.
Poor little guy.
Although he's he's gone at least 15 feet already from where he started.
I already did pick him up. He's soft and smooth.
Doesn't really have any fangs.
He's not that big.
He's little.
Well, he's bigger than your average caterpillar, but smaller than, you know, your average bear.
I know he's going to be tired when he gets where he's going.
They're so cool to watch though, aren't they?
He's like nowhere near vegetation, so maybe he's all done eating.
I don't know. I feel bad.
I feel like I need to help him get somewhere else. This is a bad spot.
Here, crawl on us.
Get on there.
Climb on there.
Consider it your taxi. Go ahead. Get on your taxi.
Go ahead.
Get on there.
All right.
Okay. I'm going to put him over here.
It's pretty cool. I just don't want to see him get stepped on. I gave him a new spot.
I'm going to leave him there. Anyway, just thought I'd show you.
That's all for now. Tata.
