The time that a lava spends in pupation may be brief, as with the Monarch butterfly who only stay in a chrysalis for 2 weeks. However, some species enter into a dormant state when they start pupation and stay in this stage until the appropriate season. They mostly stay dormant through the winter months or during the dry season in the tropics. The time spend in the chrysalis is different for each species of Butterfly. A butterfly does not spin a cocoon, its pupa is called a chrysalis. A moth, however, spins a protective silk case which is known as a cocoon.

How long does it take for a monarch butterfly to come out of its cocoon after you can see the butterfly inside?
A Monarch chrysalis/pupa (cocoon is actually an improper term) will begin to turn color the day before the butterfly emerges. It will emerge in less than 24 hours once the chrysalis is totally clear and you can see the wings and body inside. If you notice the color change in the evening, it will emerge the next morning. If you see the color change in the morning, it should emerge before noon. If it looks like it's covered in plastic wrap, it won't be immediate. Once it begins to have a wax paper look, it will emerge soon.
