And some others on a university site:

usually the bigger, hairier and thornier caterpillars turn into moths. The butterfly caterpillars are usually smoother and not as hairy/thorny.
Whether they're butterfly or moth caterpillars, they're all icky. Makes my skin crawl just thinking about it.

All caterpillars turn into butterflies or moths.
