How big does a robin egg get before it hatches
Just so you know, it's called a chrysalis, not a cocoon. They are very different structures for very different creatures.
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 lifecycle of a fuzzy yellow caterpillar with black spikes typically involves four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult butterfly. The caterpillar hatches from an egg, grows and feeds on leaves, then forms a chrysalis where it undergoes metamorphosis before emerging as a butterfly.
The bug that has three stages in its life cycle is the butterfly. It starts as an egg laid on a plant, hatches into a larva or caterpillar, then undergoes metamorphosis in a chrysalis or pupa before emerging as a fully developed adult butterfly.
A monarchs chrysalis is green with golden bumps. Just before a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly, the chrysalis becomes transparent.
A goose egg before it hatches, is about 4 inches long.

Some chrysalises may be green because they blend in with the foliage for camouflage and protection from predators. The color of the chrysalis can be influenced by the environment where it pupates, such as the color of the leaf it attaches to.
