Some parrotfishes create a cocoon by secreting a mucus layer around themselves while they sleep. This cocoon serves as a protective barrier against predators and parasites, masking their scent and helping to conceal them from potential threats. Additionally, the mucus cocoon may provide a more stable environment for the fish, reducing stress and promoting better sleep.

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.
