it will most likely not survive, to play it safe dont do it!
Nothing will happen to you but the cocoon will be destroyed as long with the caterpillar
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
it takes about 7 to 14 days, depending on the air temperature
it takes about 4 weeks for it to grow and cocoon and about six weeks 4 it to be a butterfly.
They emerge from their cocoons about ten days after spinning them.
A caterpillar may stay in there as long as 4-9 days average
A silkworm is a type of caterpillar. It takes a silkworm about three days to spin its cocoon around themselves. They use one long thread to spin the cocoon and if it is disturbed, the silkworm must start over.
The total in hours would be 423, 25,920 minutes, or a total of 155,520 seconds.
The Caterpillar eats until it is fully ready to break out of the cocoon, This may take a few weeks to a year or so. Hope This Helps
After a caterpillar comes out of the cocoon, it sits on a leaf and flaps its wings slowly to dry them. Once dried, they flap them harder and begin to hover. Then, once they get used to it, They take off!! Butterflies are beautiful! i i {|} {|} ^ | / \ \/ \
The cocoon stage for a caterpillar to become a butterfly can vary in length by species. Some are in their cocoon for a few weeks to a month, while some have Pupa stages that can last for two years.
This is really dependant on the type of caterpillar you have. :) It can take a few weeks, but before winter arrives, butterflies have the ability to make the process last for mos. at a time.
a cocoon cant turn into a caterpiller because a caterpiller turns into a cocoon then turns into a butterfly
