Chrysalis is a term which refers to a life cycle in the life of a butterfly. It is the pupa produced by a butterfly. It is the third stage out of the four life cycles of a butterfly. Many often miss out this stage but this stage is actually responsible for the transformation of the caterpillar into a butterfly. The pupa of a butterfly is usually a dull brown or green colour to act as a camouflage and blend with the surroundings.
Chrysalis refers to both the stage and the pupa itself. It is a sort of protective covering for the butterfly and is similar to a cocoon. Chrysalis as a protective shield is also known as nympha. Chrysalis is a term imitated from the Greek language and means gold when translated into English. There is not much movement in the butterfly when it is undergoing this phase.
