Butterflies don't burrow or swim

How about caterpillers?
How about cocoons? Wouldn't they protect some larva from the effects?

They don't swim or burrow either, Plus they have the most voracious appetites on the planet and in a devastated world where all plant life is gone they would have starved

Butterflies don't make cocoons (Moths and skippers do) they basically just get hard and become chrysalides so they would be very exposed to the heat/firestorm, Plus even if they did, silk is not exactly fire and heat proof so they would still be toast.
