* Delenn, from ''[[Babylon 5]]'', uses a butterfly like cocoon to {{spoiler| turn into a half-human, half-minbari}}. While transforming, the security team exploited the trope by telling the treacherous Delenn, that though she became beautiful as she emerges from the cocoon, as though she was a butterfly with wings.
* In an early episode of ''[[Lost]]'', a moth coming out of its cocoon was a metaphor for Charlie weaning himself out of drugs. Locke [[Lampshade Hanging|made this very explicit]].
* In [[ABC]]'s ''What Would You Do?'' episode titled "Bridezilla," the bride asks her bridesmaids to wear violet dresses, were she has appended butterfly wings, a symbol of her transformation via marriage.
