No, they change into a pupa inside the cocoon. Bagworm moth caterpillars do make what looks like a cocoon and they move about taking the bag with them. As they eat and grow, they make the bag larger. When they are ready to change into pupae, each one will pupate inside its own bag.

∙ 14y agoNo they don't eat inside their cocoon because if they did,what would they eat?
I have my own caterpillar inside a cocoon and it made one on the side of my see through container and I can see exactly what it does.
It goes o sleep and while it's asleep it grows.
It takes about 4 weeks for the right wing to grow.
