| Many people think that monarchs spin their cocoon but they in fact just shed their skin to form the chrysalis. |
| The chrysalis is what the silkworm becomes when it finishes spinning its cocoon. |
| Milkweed, in its many varieties, serves as the sole host plant for the monarch's life cycle, from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis. |

| The title may refer to a process, as when a butterfly emerges from the chrysalis. |
