Chrysalis
A chrysalis is a type of pupa, a protective case within which an insect undergoes metamorphosis from a larva into the adult form. This term typically designates the pupae of butterfly species, and sometimes also moth species.
Sometimes the chrysalis is itself contained in a protective silk case called a cocoon.
