I'm pretty sure it is ready to form a chrysalis to beome a butterfly/moth
for about a week
I think about 2 weeks
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. The time spend in the chrysalis is different for each species of Butterfly. A butterfly does not spin a cocoon, its pupa is called a chrysalis. A moth, however, spins a protective silk case which is known as a cocoon.
1 week
A month
Most butterflies and moths stay inside of their chrysalis or cocoon for between five to 21 days. If they're in really harsh places like deserts, some will stay in there for up to three years waiting for rain or good conditions.
5 million years
for life. it is passed on to generations, to generations
The Cinnabar Moth will stay in their cocoon for a period of nine months. They cocoon themselves in the early summer and do not emerge from the cocoon until the next spring.
they stay family
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.
