Butterflies start their life cycle as caterpillars because they undergo a process called metamorphosis. This transformation allows them to completely change their form and structure before becoming butterflies. Caterpillars serve as the larval stage of a butterfly's life cycle where they grow and develop before emerging as adult butterflies.
