What is is a Caterpillar?
A caterpillar is the larva stage of a butterfly or moth. A caterpillar hatches from the eggs of a butterfly or a moth. After a given amount of time, it then forms a cocoon, a casing of filament spun from its own silk glands. The caterpillar remains in this cocoon for protection while its body transforms into a butterfly or moth.

What is the function of the crystals?
The function is to protect the Caterpillar while it transforms into a butterfly
What does a butterfly eat in it coocon?
While in the cocoon, a butterfly does not eat anything. It survives on the nutrients stored from when it was a caterpillar. Once the butterfly emerges from the cocoon, it will feed on nectar from flowers to sustain itself.
Do penguins undergo metamorphsis?
No. A tadpole undergoes the process of metamorphosis to become a frog as does a caterpillar in order to become a butterfly or moth, but while a penguin chick may mature into an adult, it is always a penguin.
What live in cacoons?
IF you mean 'cocoon' it's where the caterpillar changes into a butterfly (or moth) The cocoon protects the developing caterpillar while it goes through metamorphosis.
How long does it take for a caterpillar to hatch from its cocoon?
The cocoon stage for a caterpillar to become a butterfly can vary in length by species. Some are in their cocoon for a few weeks to a month, while some have Pupa stages that can last for two years.
What do larva turn into?
Metamorphosis is the series of developmental stages insects go through to become adults. Butterflies and moths have four stages of life: egg, larva (the caterpillar stage), pupa (the chrysalis phase), and adult. When it is ready, the caterpillar will find a suitable place and attach itself to a leaf with a sticky substance. This substance hardens to become the chrysalis (similar to a cocoon). The caterpillar sheds its exoskeleton for the last time. After 1-2 weeks, a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis.
When a caterpillar is meta-morphing into a butterfly is it called a caterfly or a butterpiller?
Actually, neither. While changing, it is a Chrysalis. (kris-a-lis)
What happens while the caterpillar is in the cocoon?
While in the cocoon, the caterpillar undergoes a process called metamorphosis. It breaks down its old body tissues and reorganizes them to form a completely new structure, including wings, legs, and other features of an adult butterfly. This transformation can take several days to weeks, depending on the species and environmental conditions. Ultimately, the caterpillar emerges as a butterfly, ready to take flight and start its new life.
What do caterpillars do in the cocoon?
Before a caterpillar makes a cocoon, it eats like crazy increasing its size. Then it finds an appropriate place to make a cocoon where it is unlikely to get eaten while it changes into an adult insect.
Which stage of the life cycle of a butterfly is daughter to farmers?
The stage of the butterfly life cycle that is most beneficial to farmers is the caterpillar, or larval stage. During this time, caterpillars feed on leaves and can help control vegetation growth, but they can also become pests by damaging crops. Farmers often need to manage caterpillar populations to protect their crops while also recognizing their role in the ecosystem. Overall, the impact of caterpillars on farming can vary depending on the species and context.
