Tbf, Eric Carle gaslit generations of kids, telling them that butterfly catepillars spin a cocoon.
It’s called a chrysalis!
I’ve heard both words and thought they meant the same thing, what’s the difference?
Cocoons are soft and spun from silk by the moth larvae, whereas a chrysalis is hard but smooth and is molted from the caterpillar like a shell.
Ultimately they serve the same function as a protective structure during their metamorphosis, when they are at their most vulnerable to predators and weather.
