Caterpillars weave their cocoons using a silk produced from specialized glands in their mouths. They spin this silk into a protective covering by secreting it in a liquid form, which hardens upon exposure to air. The caterpillar typically attaches the cocoon to a stable surface, allowing it to secure itself while undergoing metamorphosis into a butterfly or moth. The process involves careful manipulation of the silk threads to create a durable structure that shields the developing pupa.
