The chrysalis in silk refers to the pupal stage of the silk moth (Bombyx mori), during which the caterpillar transforms into an adult moth. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar undergoes significant biological changes, developing the structures needed for its adult form. This stage is crucial for silk production, as it is during the pupation process that the silk fibers are harvested when the chrysalis is still intact. The process of spinning silk occurs before the caterpillar enters the chrysalis, creating a protective cocoon around itself.

The hard case around a butterfly larva?
The hard case around a butterfly larva is called a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, the larva undergoes metamorphosis and transforms into a butterfly. The chrysalis provides protection for the developing butterfly as it prepares to emerge.
How is the silk from a silk worm extracted?
The silkworm makes a coccoon. When the worm does this, you drop the coccoon into warm water and let it soak. After a while, the "glue" that the silkworm uses to make the cocoon dissolves and the fibres come apart in the water. Carefully find the end of the cocoon and start to unravel it. It should come apart easily and the silk will dry to a usable product.
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.

Show the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis?
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.
How is a chrysalis formed?
A chrysalis is formed when a caterpillar goes through the process of metamorphosis to become a butterfly. The caterpillar spins a silk pad, attaches itself to it, and hangs upside down. It then sheds its skin for the final time and forms the chrysalis casing around itself to undergo transformation into a butterfly.
