A cocoon is typically formed from silk produced by certain insects, such as silkworms, during their pupal stage. This silk is secreted by specialized glands and hardens to create a protective casing around the developing larva. In some cases, cocoons can also be made from other materials, such as leaves or soil, depending on the species. The primary function of a cocoon is to shield the pupating insect from predators and environmental hazards.
