Home of the Snarkmaiden

Funnily enough, three days ago I was in a carpet manufacture in Turkey, where they explained / showed us how silk is unwound from the cocoons (they even placed them in our hands while doing the unwinding, rarely have I felt things so soft), and afterwards the dried dead insects were passed around and we were told they are yummy with some garlic. But they are so tiny that it makes no sense to me to harvest big white cocoons for such small edibles.

All that aside, though, yes. Larvae are not pupae. I've tossed books aside with no small force for things like that.
