  • It spins a protective cocoon around itself.
  • The cocoon serves as protection for the pupa which is in shades of white, cream and yellow.
  • The final moult takes place inside the cocoon and the larva develops into the brown and chitinous structure called the pupa.
  • The pupa takes about 2-3 weeks to metamorphose into an adult moth.
  • Cocoon is the fourth stage in which the larva spins a silk thread to protect itself from its predators.
