∙ 13y agoA silkworm is a type of caterpillar. It takes a silkworm about three days to spin its cocoon around themselves. They use one long thread to spin the cocoon and if it is disturbed, the silkworm must start over.
1 sec. at least.
This is really dependant on the type of caterpillar you have. :) It can take a few weeks, but before winter arrives, butterflies have the ability to make the process last for mos. at a time.
362 days to spin losers
it depends. first if all the catipillar is the larva. but from when it hatches it's between 2 hours to one month to spin it's cacoon and abot 3 days to 3 months to become a butterfly.

About a month

it will most likely not survive, to play it safe dont do it!
About 16 - 19 hours to make one complete spin.
One day equals one spin on earth's axis.
it takes about 7 to 14 days, depending on the air temperature
