How you get silk from butterfly?
Silkworms, which emerge from their cocoons as moths, spin cocoons that are the raw material for the fibre humans use as silk. Cocoons are harvested from domesticated silkworms by heating the cocoon to kill the animal, then the silk cocoon is unraveled. Once the moth has emerged -- in wild silkworms for example, the cocoon's silk can be harvested, but not in one continuous length. As a moth, there is no connection with the now-discarded cocoon.

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.
