The oldest silkworm cocoon ever discovered in China was found in the Xiyin Village of Shanxi Province and dates back over 4,000 years. However, as far back as 5th Century B.C., Hangzhou was known as the center of Chinese sericulture.
Cocoons are typically found in nature, attached to surfaces such as branches, leaves, or twigs. Insects like moths and butterflies create cocoons to undergo metamorphosis from larvae to adults. You may also find cocoons in specialized habitats such as insectaries or butterfly gardens.
Silkworms originate from China and live in Mulberry Bushes

The Chinese developed the skill of silk production from silkworm cocoons found in mulberry trees. By cultivating silkworms, they learned to harvest and weave silk fibers into luxurious fabrics, which became a highly sought-after commodity. This technique not only advanced their textile industry but also initiated the Silk Road trade, connecting China with various cultures and economies. Silk production remains a significant cultural and economic aspect of China to this day.

There is no standard collective noun for cocoons. Collective nouns are an informal part of language, any noun that suits the context of the situation can function as a collective noun; for example, a cluster of cocoons, an infestation of cocoons, a tray of cocoons (used in silk making), etc.
The Chinese realized how special the silk was and checked everyone leaving China to see if they were sneaking silk worms or eggs or cocoons and if they were they were killed immediately.
Some caterpillars do have cocoons in groups. The group is usually a family of caterpillars that build a web like nest around there to cocoons for protection.
