Artistic License – Biology: The titular caterpillar pupates in what is called a "cocoon" before transforming into a butterfly. In real life, only moth caterpillars pupate in cocoons, whereas butterfly caterpillars pupate in chrysalises. Justified in that it's a fictional specimen, and that "chrysalis" could be a fairly complex word for little kids.

Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: The butterfly that the titular caterpillar transforms into has extravagant rainbow-colored wings, something very few adult Lepidopteran specimens have, if any (and this is usually if they are toxic, such as the Madagascan Sunset Moth, whose bright colors warn predators that it is toxic to eat.)
