When they eat the honeysuckle leaf they will grow strong and become a butterfly. The third stage is the transformation stage. The caterpillar made a bed inside a leaf for the winter. The caterpillar sleeps for six months. The leaves are brown so the other animals do not see them. The fourth stage is the adult. In the spring ...
