CHAPTER III. 
OF THE PUPA, OR CHRYSALIS STATE. 
From the resemblance of the animal in this con- 
dition to a mummy, or a child swathed in close 
trusses, which is a practice of many of the northern 
nations, particularly the Laplanders, Linneus gave 
the chrysalis the name of Pupa. 
THE PUPA OF THE PEACOCK BUTTERFLY.

Orner terms used for this state are the Chrysalis, 
and the Awrelia ; the former from a Greek word, 
and the latter from a Latin word. Various species 
of lepidopterous insects, previous to this condition, 
spin for themselves a casement of silky filaments, 
which naturalists term the Cocoon. In this en- 
velope they lie concealed, until their final change.
