when a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, before it transforms it will manifest itself in a cocoon, where it develops the changes it needs to become a butterfly

A cocoon or chrysalis is the pupae stage of a caterpillar in which it resides during its metamorphosis into a moth or butterfly.It's often wrapped in its own silk and must remain upside down in order for the pupae to live.Other animals make make shift cocoons made out of organic material but also wrapped with silk(web).I also feel obligated to tell you that you've posted this question in religion and spirituality.Hah g_20v called you an idiot and she's wrong.Nice going on that one g.She was reported.

it's the sack in which some creature is born. Some are born inside a mother, and others are born outside the mother. For instance a moth is inside a cocoon and then is born when it climbs out of it's cocoon.

A butterfly before it is born lives in a cocoon.

It is a kind of shell/web that larvae spin around themselves to grow/ change in, during their time in the cocoon they turn into butterflies.

a cocoon, is a shell that a caterpillar creates when it's time for them to become a butterfly, and a reaaaaaaally boring movie Ron Howard made

Its what a moth comes out of. NOT a butterfly. A butterfly comes out of a chrysalis.
Silk is made out of cocoons of silk worms. They kill the moth before it emerges so the silk threads do not break.

NOUN: 1a. A protective case of silk or similar fibrous material spun by the larvae of moths and other insects that serves as a covering for their pupal stage. b. A similar natural protective covering or structure, such as the egg case of a spider.

well, in all essences it is something that you can find protection from the outside world in.. just like it is for the caterpillar..
i assume that you mean it as in a real life situation though. this could be anything that you love to do.. i kno that for me it is guitar, for you it may be soccer or something like that..you just have to find something that you love and set a goal to try and get good at it.

It's a shell an insect creates to protect itself while metamophasizing into an adult.
