Question

from cocoon how we can recognize that it is having a male or female moth in it

Open in App
Solution

There are no distinct signs on the cocoon that can distinguish between a female or male moth containing cocoons. However, generally the larger, rounder cocoons with no depression in the middle give rise to female moths while smaller cocoons with sharper ends and a depression in the middle give rise to the male moths.
