No they do not because if they did it would change their divelopment (makeing the butterfly deformed)
caterpillars hide in trees
when theyre ready
they kiled each other
Spikes on caterpillars are not a sign of cocooning.Rather, they occur only on some caterpillar species.
This is really depends on the type of caterpillar you have/seen. (whatever) It can take a few weeks; but before winter arrives, butterflies have the ability to make the process last for months at a time.
They make silk...when the spin their cacoon
Yes. A moth creates a cacoon, but a butterflies is better and more properly known as a chrysalis.
well, catapillars dont really spin silk, silk worms make silk. catapillars make a sort of spider string but only when they cacoon themselfs up.
Moths lay eggs that hatch into caterpillars just like butterflies do. Only after it forms and hatches from its cacoon does it resemble the adult moth.
Monarch caterpillars do not sleep. They do become inactive and stop moving at different points during the day and night.
Caterpillars actually play a big role in our ecosystem. Their main role is helping to control the populations of other insects by eating them and they will use other insects to build shelters.
A cocoon is a protective casing spun by some insects, particularly caterpillars, to undergo metamorphosis into their adult form, such as butterflies or moths. The cocoon provides insulation and protection while the insect undergoes development within it.
