Basically, while inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar becomes a molecular soup and reassembles into a butterfly. This is about the best explanation I've ever found for it.
"(An esoteric explanation: Inside the chrysalis the caterpillar structures are broken down chemically and the adult's new structures are formed)."
