Chrysalis
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
- Chrysalis is also a record label that was created in 1969.
A chrysalis is a type of pupa, a protective case within which an insect is undergoing 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.
