The Cinnabar Moth will stay in their cocoon for a period of nine months. They cocoon themselves in the early summer and do not emerge from the cocoon until the next spring.
Silkworms, which emerge from their cocoons as moths, spin cocoons that are the raw material for the fibre humans use as silk. Cocoons are harvested from domesticated silkworms by heating the cocoon to kill the animal, then the silk cocoon is unraveled. Once the moth has emerged -- in wild silkworms for example, the cocoon's silk can be harvested, but not in one continuous length. As a moth, there is no connection with the now-discarded cocoon.
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.

The casing spun of silk by a caterpillar is called a cocoon. The caterpillar uses its silk glands to produce the silk thread and constructs the cocoon to protect itself during the pupal stage of its life cycle. The silk cocoon serves as a safe environment for the caterpillar to undergo metamorphosis and emerge as an adult moth or butterfly.
A caterpilar lives in a cocoon to turn into a buterfly a moth
If the moth hatches, it chews its way out of the cocoon, cutting all the silk fibers. for silk production, the caterpillar is killed before it hatches, so the silk strands can be unwound and remain whole.
A butterfly`s is called a chrysalis a moth`s is a cocoon.
The Spotted Apatelode Moth goes through complete metamorphosis. It takes a little more than two weeks for the moth to reach the cocoon stage.
Black Swallowtail butterflies stay in their cocoon for 9 to 11 days.
