Vincent -- eggs do not become caterpillars! Caterpillers hatch out of eggs. Eventually, the caterpillar becomes a butterfly. The egg does not become or change into anything -- it's still an egg, even when it is a broken, empty egg.

The caterpillar doesn't come out of a cocoon. The butterfly does. I would say that the caterpillar hatches from the egg, and the butterfly emerges from the cocoon.
