What's the difference between a cocoon and a chrysalis in the life cycle of a butterfly?
A cocoon is a protective covering made of silk that encases a butterfly pupa, while a chrysalis is a hardened outer shell formed by the butterfly pupa itself. Both serve as a shelter for the pupa during its transformation into a butterfly, but they are made differently and have distinct appearances.

What is the process of a worm transforming into a butterfly inside a cocoon?
During metamorphosis, a worm transforms into a butterfly inside a cocoon through four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly.

Finally, the adult butterfly emerges from the chrysalis and begins its life cycle.

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.

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.
