A butterfly does not spin a cocoon, it's pupa is called a chrysalis. A moth, however, spins a protective silk case which is known as a cocoon.
A caterpillar spins either a cocoon or a chrysalis depending on its breed. After being incased it will be its transfirmation into a butterfly.
The time spent in the chrysalis is different for each species of Butterfly, but when the metormorphosis is complete the new butterfly will break its way out of the casing of the chrysalis and spread its new wings for the first time. The butterfly will genrally cling onto the side of the chrysalis for an hour or so, to allow their wings to dry out, and enable them to fly for the first time.
The time that a lava spends in pupation may be brief, as with the Monarch butterfly who only stay in a chrysalis for 2 weeks. However, some species enter into a dormant state when they start pupation and stay in this stage until the appropriate season. They mostly stay dormant through the winter months or during the dry season in the tropics.

How do lepidoperta's reproduce?
Lepidoptera, which includes butterflies and moths, reproduce through sexual reproduction. The female typically lays eggs on a suitable host plant, which hatch into caterpillars. The caterpillars undergo metamorphosis, forming a chrysalis or cocoon and eventually emerging as adult butterflies or moths.
Can crystallines liquefy under pressure?
Crystallines can liquefy under pressure if it is sufficiently high. Generally the opposite happens where they become more dense and compressed as the pressure increases.
Is it true that above the temperature no amount of pressure will casue a gas to liquefy?
The critical temperature of a gas is the temperature at or above which no amount of pressure, however great, will cause the gas to liquefy.
What is the casing spun of silk by caterpillar?
The casing spun of silk by a caterpillar is called a cocoon. The caterpillar uses its silk glands to produce the silk thread and constructs the cocoon to protect itself during the pupal stage of its life cycle. The silk cocoon serves as a safe environment for the caterpillar to undergo metamorphosis and emerge as an adult moth or butterfly.
