Answer:
The pupa or chrysalis stage
Step-by-step explanation:
The pupa or chrysalis is the last step that will lead to transforming a caterpillar into a butterfly, which is the previous step to the adult stage. At that time the caterpillar stops eating, and begins to look for a safe place to pupate, usually near the place where it has lived, among the branches of the plant that has served as a guest, or in its surroundings.
Caterpillars use different formulas to create chrysalis buds, depending on the family to which they belong.
