I've found one.. I thought it would be too late for any caterpillars.. I guess I was wrong!
Yes they do. If you have them as a pet and you see a big brown blob that is its cocoon!
they will make their cocoon
They pull them selves out with there two front legs called shoobers.
Moths make a Cocoon, and butterflies make a chrysalis. But I do believe that all caterpillars (that make it alive) must go through their pupa stage.
cocoon
the catterpiller is 3 weeks when it cakkoons
Caterpillars have 1 cocoon.
Monarch caterpillars do not sleep. They do become inactive and stop moving at different points during the day and night.
my answer is the caterpillars are almost ready to be in their cocoon so they try to get used to it
Not all caterpillars make it out of their cacoons.The sucess rate is 74%.Some factors are:they were to cold,they were in the wrong time,or something found it and damaged it.
Butterflies don't make cocoons - caterpillars do. They produce silk (similar to a spider) which they form into a cocoon while they change from caterpillar to butterfly.
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.
Eggs laid in small clusters on host tree, caterpillars hatch after a couple weeks and spend 6-8 weeks eating leaves, caterpillars make a silken cocoon, and the moth hatches after a few weeks in the cocoon (or a few months if it needs to overwinter in the cocoon). The adult moth doesn't eat and dies after only a week or two.
