Show the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis?
No. Butterflies and Moths lay eggs. These eggs hatch out into caterpillars which eat plany material and grow. Once they are full size, the caterpillars make a cocoon/chrysalis then this cocoon/chrysalis hatches out into a new butterfly or moth. To be more clear, butterfly caterpillars do not make a cocoon; they pupate (transform into a chrysalis) which then hatches into the butterfly However, some moth caterpillers also spin a cocoon round themselves (made of silk) before pupating. Before pupating the caterpiller will normally move off its food source to find somewhere safe and hidden to pupate.
How do you tell when a cattipallarr will go into its cacoon?
Hey, they don't simply go into the cocoon; they make it. And they make it around themselves, so that they are in it. Typically, the Caterpillar attaches itself to a branch, hanging down. That done, you can expect the chrysalis formation to start (the cocoon is now often referred to as chrysalis).

What is the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis?
A cocoon is a covering made of silk that encloses a pupa, and a chrysalis is the pupa of a butterfly. The chrysalis is covered in a hard, chitnous shell. Note the difference: A cocoon is a covering of a pupa, and a chrysalis is a particular kind of pupa, usually with no enclosing cocoon. Inside a cocoon, you will often find a pupa of a moth or other insect with an inner chitinous shell, but it is not called a chrysalis unless it is the pupa of a butterfly. The pupae of some insects have visible external body structures, such as wings and legs, as they develop, while others (such as moths) have a smooth outer shell that encloses the developing structures.
