Probably the most fascinating part of the entire transformation... The fact is, well before time of this final molt that reveals the chrysalis, the 'caterpillar' is really no longer a caterpillar at all, but actually a chrysalis within the now non-functional caterpillar skin. None of its legs or mouthparts work any longer or are movable, which explains why they completely disappear when the chrysalis molts the final larval skin.
