How do you know if the cocoon is a moth or a butterfly?
In general, only moth caterpillars form cocoons. A cocoon is a silk wrapping spun by the larval moth to protect itself when in its pupal (transforming) stage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupa#Cocoon Butterfly caterpillars form extra tough chitinous exoskeletons when in their pupal form. This is called a Chrysalis. They will use silk only to anchor themselves to branches or leaves. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pupa#Chrysalis Every species has it's own unique looking pupa, but in general, if it's wrapped in silk, it's a Moth's Cocoon; if it's a hard, smooth shell, it's a Butterfly's Chrystalis
