What do cocoons do?
From the description, I know it's something to do with cloning but that's about it so can anyone explain with more detail about what it does?
Best Answer
Cocoons are for use of the clone larvae spell.
When you put larvae into a cocoon they can still be cloned, but they won't be used for transformation to other units. You can use cocoons to reserve the larvae for the cloning spell.
Clone larvae is limited to 100,000 times your larvae production per sec. So, cocoons are generally used to reserve this number of larvae to always use the clone spell to maximum effect without having to worry about spending too many larvae for transformation into adult units.

What does a caterpillar do in a cocoon?
One day, the caterpillar stops eating, hangs upside down from a twig or leaf and spins itself a silky cocoon or molts into a shiny chrysalis. Within its protective casing, the caterpillar radically transforms its body, eventually emerging as a butterfly or moth.What is a cocoon how is it useful for a larva?
A cocoon is a protective casing, usually made of silk. This casing protects the larval, or immature stage, of an insect from the elements, such as extreme temperatures.What remains in a cocoon?
Butterflies make a chrysalis, while other insects\u2014like the tobacco hornworm caterpillar\u2014makes a cocoon and becomes a moth. They will stay and transform over time into a butterfly or a moth. Most butterflies and moths stay inside of their chrysalis or cocoon for between five to 21 days.Are cocoons alive?
The chrysalis should become transparent as the time to emerge nears. If your chrysalis remains black and your butterfly does not emerge, very gently bend it. If it remains bent, it is likely dead and you should discard it to prevent disease from spreading to the other caterpillars.What’s Inside A Caterpillar 'Cocoon?'
