In a cocoon a caterpillar changes into a moth or butterfly.But if they fall they will die so if you get a caterpillar take good care don't handle to much
Once a caterpillar is ready to transform into a butterfly, it wraps itself up into a cocoon, made out of it's food, saliva and leaves. It will stay their for about 2 weeks- as much as a month.
Butterflies can be symbols of hope, beauty, and new life. A butterfly begins as a caterpillar, small, helpless, and typically ugly. When it comes out of the cocoon, it has been transformed into a beautiful butterfly, a creature capable of spreading its wings and soaring towards the sky. The world looks pretty pitiful from the standpoint of a caterpillar, but before long its life will have a much different, more hopeful outlook.
It's a process called metamorphosis - triggered by genes in the caterpillars body. After a caterpillar hatches from an egg, it basically spends all its time eating - growing and preparing its body for the change to a butterfly. During the caterpillar stage, it moults its skin three times - growing larger each time. Eventually, it spins a silk cocoon, and the transformation takes place over a number of days. While hidden in the cocoon, the caterpillars body is literally re-built - growing legs, wings, and flight muscles.
An adult caterpillar is not a caterpillar. It's a butterfly or moth! There are many different species.
when I had one i kept its cage clean and it eats most plants [non poisonous] and they love carrots. I gave mine carrot shreds and they love it. after this for a while they pupate. [go into a cocoon] and eventually they hatch as adult black swallowtails. Remember to let them stretch their wings before they can fly. Sorry if too much info...
First of all, the larva doesn't spend very much time in the cocoon. Shortly (around a few hours to a day) after the larva spins the cocoon it molts into the pupal stage. the pupa can remain in the cocoon for any amount of time as it depends on the time of year.
as much as he desires.
it depends on the caterpillar. I have the caterpillar that makes those giant webs on trees.But I only have one so he can't do much but he can't pee. but he can POOP!
