Examples of cocoon

cocoon
However, as the time interval between infection and parasitism increased, parasitoid larval development was significantly extended by up to two days, and the cocoons formed were significantly (c. 20%) smaller.
Adults remain inside their cocoons in a dormant stage throughout the wintering period.
Afterwards, cocoons were checked daily until the host larvae were completely consumed.
However, adult eclosion did not always occur from cocoons derived from hosts that had been parasitized at the later time points.
Any host larva that died before parasitoid larvae were able to emerge or form cocoons, escaped or were injured, were excluded from the calculation of developmental time.
Protective silken cocoons around the pupae were not removed during exposure to the high temperatures because we wanted to simulate natural conditions for pupal exposure.
Micro-dissecting scissors were used to open the cocoons to follow development of the pupae and prepupae.
There was a preponderance of female fleas available during the first days of emergence from a batch of cocoons.
