I've been told that caterpillars feed for a week to ten days before going into a chrysalis. Then the chrysalis stage last about a week to ten days before emerging as a butterfly (which takes less than a minute!).
EDIT:
Just found it for Monarch Butterflies!

The pupae usually form in morning hours (9-11 am) or later in the day (5-7 pm). So my guess is it only takes a few minutes.

How long do caterpillars stay caterpillars?
well i suppose it depends how well you keep them.If u give them lots of food and water with lots of room and fun things to do they will survive longer and turn into butterflies quicker.If u give them a little bit less of everything i have previously said then it will take longer to get fatter (they need to be fat to turn into butterflies) and form into butterflies, so they stay caterpillars for longer.If u give nothing, they will starve and die. (so then they don't stay caterpillars and alive for long.)so it depends, follow me on twitter I'm calledMeBunnies

Do caterpillars know they will be butterflies?
Doubtfully, but more importantly, why does it matter. 'Knowing' implies cognitive thought which means a caterpillar would have a capacity by which it could process information, which in humans is a brain. Though a human baby is born with a brain, it is just starting to develop the concept of future so s/he is not aware of becoming an adult.
