Well,I think it depends on how old the caterpillar is. Mine I found one day on a tree, and it became a chrysalis about 1 week later. Also it could depend about the type of caterpillar it is. Maybe even it depends on how healthy it is. sincerly, Jovan Zuniga

In how many days caterpillar turn into a butterfly?
Depending on the species, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to many months. Arctic species often spend close to a year in the chrysalis before emerging. Keep in mind though that the caterpillar is not "in the chrysalis." The caterpillar forms the chrysalis inside of itself when it is fully grown, then sheds its skin to become the chrysalis. A chrysalis therefore is not like a cocoon containing an insect; it is the insect.
