Will caterpillars continue making a cocoon after it is bothered?

Sometimes the interrupted caterpillar will go to a different spot from it's first and continue its business. Other times it might be afraid to make one since it was interrupted the first time. If this is what it does, I suggest leaving the caterpillar alone for a while. If the caterpillar does not make a new cocoon it probably won't succeed in turning into a butterfly. It may die.
