Cute little Caterpillar

I was just walking in my courtyard when I saw something moving on the leaves of a rose plant. By casting a keen look I saw a caterpillar moving on the stem. You can call me weird but I found it cute and picked it. It started moving on my hand like a way saying leave me on my spot. But actually I am stubborn so I started gazing on every part of it.
These usually are found on the leaves because they belong to herbivorous family. Their favorite food is green part of plants thats why they turnes green.
From worm like body they turned to butterflies maybe. I remember when I read about the growth stages of butterfly. Firstly they are born as egg, then larvae, then cocoons, and then butterfly finally if I'm not wrong. You can correct it if the sequence is wrong because I don't have a strong memory😁.
It was moving impatiently in a zigzag movement. Its texture and body was so soft that even a minor hard touch could harm it but I handled it gently.
Later after observing it thoroughly I left it on his spot and started doing house chores.
