Butterflies do not spin or make cocoons! A cocoon is a silk 'sleeping bag' inside which a caterpillar changes into a pupa. Some moth caterpillars make cocoons with silk from spinnerets from underneath their heads. Butterflies become a pupa or chrysalis by shedding it's 'skin'. This process takes about three minutes.

We have some species of Swallowtail Butterfly in the metamorphasis stage right now. The caterpillar formed the cocoon within 24-hours of finding a nice branch upon which to settle.
