What does an Caterpillar wrap itself into while transforming?
Insects use a pupa when they change from one form to another. The pupa is called a cocoon if it is a moth. It is called a chrysalis if it is a butterfly.
How do you know if the cocoon is a moth or a butterfly?
In general, only moth caterpillars form cocoons. A cocoon is a silk wrapping spun by the larval moth to protect itself when in its pupal (transforming) stage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupa#Cocoon Butterfly caterpillars form extra tough chitinous exoskeletons when in their pupal form. This is called a Chrysalis. They will use silk only to anchor themselves to branches or leaves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupa#Chrysalis Every species has it's own unique looking pupa, but in general, if it's wrapped in silk, it's a Moth's Cocoon; if it's a hard, smooth shell, it's a Butterfly's Chrystalis

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.
