The life cycle of a moth consists of four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. The moth lays eggs on a suitable plant, which hatch into caterpillars. The caterpillar then undergoes metamorphosis inside a chrysalis before emerging as an adult moth.
The hard case around a butterfly larva is called a chrysalis. Inside the chrysalis, the larva undergoes metamorphosis and transforms into a butterfly. The chrysalis provides protection for the developing butterfly as it prepares to emerge.
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.
A chrysalis
Yes. A moth creates a cacoon, but a butterflies is better and more properly known as a chrysalis.
It usually takes about 2-4 weeks for a hawk-moth to emerge from its chrysalis, depending on temperature and humidity levels. Once emerged, it may take a few hours for its wings to fully expand and dry before it can fly.
Caterpillars make a chrysalis when they are ready to transform, they do this during the fall and winter time, then come out in the spring. ^_^ HOPE DIS HELPS!!!
Yes it odes, but not as a moth, it comes as a caterpillar.
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.
A butterfly`s is called a chrysalis a moth`s is a cocoon.
Egg, Larvae/Caterpillar, Chrysalis/Cacoon, Butterfly/Moth.
I'm pretty sure it is ready to form a chrysalis to beome a butterfly/moth
