Answer:

The process of a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis is called eclosion. Eclosion is controlled by hormones. ... The butterfly then crawls the rest of the way out of the chrysalis, exposing the abdomen and wings. The butterfly hangs upside down from the chrysalis or a nearby surface to complete the emergence process.
