Red on a chrysalis might be a bacterial infection caused with a caterpillar is raised in captivity and is exposed to condensation. The red might also be the left over organic material excreted by a butterfly as it emerges from the cocoon.
The life stage of an insect beginning with "ch" is chrysalis. The chrysalis is the stage during which a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly or moth through a process called metamorphosis.
It takes 7 - 11 days for the chrysalis to turn into a butterfly.
A chrysalis is formed when a caterpillar goes through the process of metamorphosis to become a butterfly. The caterpillar spins a silk pad, attaches itself to it, and hangs upside down. It then sheds its skin for the final time and forms the chrysalis casing around itself to undergo transformation into a butterfly.
Sorry to jump straight onto this as a newbie, but it got me thinking... The problem with metamorphosis seems to come from the assumption that the process evolved in the same order that it occurs. for example, just because the creature becomes a chrysalis then a butterfly, doesn't mean that the chrysalis evolved before the butterfly. to propose a hypothetical example... A tadpole becomes a frog without the need for a chrysalis. The frog continues to evolve, so that the difference between frog and tadpole increases, and the metamorphosis becomes more complicated. As metamorphosis becomes more complicated, the vulnerability of the organism during the process makes it advantageous for it to be better protected. The individuals with, for example, tougher skin, (at least during the process)are more likely to survive. The tougher skin becomes exagerated until it is distinguishable from the rest of the organism. once the chrysalis has evolved, the extent of the metamorphosis can evolve until it entails a complete decomposition. Any holes in there?
Meconium: Meconium is the red fluid that butterflies and moths eject after they leave the chrysalis Meconium is a metabolic waste product from the pupal stage that is expelled through the anal opening.In other words poop.
Chrysalis, if you mean the pupal stage of moths and butterflies.
