It depends on what type of caterpillar you are talking about. For instance, the woolly bear (or worm) stays in its cocoon from an average of ten to fifteen days. There are oth â¦ er ranges, of course, but that is because woolly bear caterpillars are so common throughout the world.
Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.
Keep in mind that the temperature of a gas is actually a measure of its average kinetic energy, and kinetic energy of a particle is related to its velocity according to the following equation: KE=12mv2. where KE represents kinetic energy of a particle, m equals mass, and v2 is the square of its velocity.
