I found a species of caterpillar and a moth. And this is interesting, because before it became a moth, this animal was basically a caterpillar. From the results of the investigation, the female moth first lays her eggs on the plant, either on the leaves or twigs of the plant, at which point it is called a larva.

Then the eggs hatch and become caterpillars as I show here. Then they turn into cocoons and after a certain amount of time, the cocoon turns into a moth.with various types of moths, one of which is the one I show here.
