Watching a butterfly emerge from its chrysalis is enough to evoke wonder even from the most world-weary of souls. But rarely do we get to see behind the scenes of the pupa’s transformation. Current methods rely on dissection of the chrysalis, or at best, staining the critter (thereby killing it) and using X-rays to look inside.

heya.....

When a caterpillar is ready to transform into a pupa, it finds an isolated place where it can begin its next phase of life. Some caterpillars hang from secluded tree branches, while others actually bury themselves in the ground. The necessity of a cocoon is to provide a protective covering for the caterpillar, as it transforms into a pupa and ultimately a butterfly or moth. A cocoon quickly becomes prime prey for predators.

Cocoon Construction:

Cocoons are constructed from silk. The silk is emitted through two glands and comes out as a thick glue-like material. Barring against popular belief, most caterpillars do not build grand cocoons that are inches in diameter, as often depicted in pictures. Most build a cocoon that is just big enough to encase the body while they are attached to a branch or underside of a leaf. The Skipper butterfly, however, does build the large cocoon that we often envision.
