Sunset moths like all moths start out as an egg.

The sunset moths caterpillar looks like it got pooped on by a bird and then sprouted feathers.

Then the caterpillar unlike the butterfly spins silk all around itself.

After a few weeks of being in the cocoon the caterpillar changes into a moth.Strangely, moth wings when not in use lie down on the body whereas butterfly wings stand up when not in use.
