About the Hanging Silk Cocoon black filled icon
A chrysalis hangs by a short stalk from a long horizontal bar or branch, its body curved and lumpy with a pointed lower tip and two small dots marking texture on the silk casing. It communicates metamorphosis, dormancy, patience and change in progress. Useful in biology lessons, insect and butterfly guides, gardening apps, wellbeing graphics and startup slides about growth stages.
The branch is a wide flat rectangle that anchors the composition, with the pupa hanging slightly off center for a natural weighted look. It pairs with caterpillar, butterfly, leaf and egg icons to show a full life cycle. Place it near a baseline so the hanging gesture reads.
This is the solid black filled version of the hanging silk cocoon icon: a bold silhouette that reads clearly at 16-24 px and on dark or busy backgrounds, and prints well in one colour.
