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.

Butterflies hatch from a chrysalis, a life stage made of a hardened protein. A cocoon is spun from silk and surrounds the pupa of many moths.
A chrysalis is a hardened protein from which a Butterfly will emerge. A cocoon is spun,silky matter from which a Moth emerges.

There can be many forms but inside the cocoon is a "chrysalis".
What is the difference between a moth cocoon and a butterfly cocoon.
the other name for chrysalis is pupa or cocoon..
Pupa or chrysalis.
The pupa of a butterfly is called a chrysalis rather than a cocoon. The difference in the structures is that many moths spin a layer of silk for protection and this structure is called a cocoon. They remain in the chrysalis for about 8-12 days, depending on temperature.
That is the correct spelling of the term "chrysalis" (shiny cocoon-like wrapping).
