Thanks, Larry.

The chrysalis is one of the differences between a butterfly and a moth.
With rare exceptions, in the metamorphism from caterpillar to butterfly,
caterpillars form a pupa consisting of hardened protein, the chrysalis. On
the other hand, moth caterpillars spin a silk pupa, which is known as a
cocoon.
