Actually, we have monarch caterpillars on our milkweed outside. It took only a few days, maybe a little more than a week of eating before they were fat enough and ready. At the moment, a few minutes ago, one of ours just started its cocoon.
yep P.S mine is starting its caccoon too! i got 2 but one lazy one hasent ate was much but hes slowly climbing up for to start at this momment so like hours ao my catapiller( it is a monarch) started... its make a little lot more of the stuff for it...its preparing its body for the cocoon now!
The pupa of a butterfly is called a chrysalis rather than a cocoon. The difference in the structures is that many moths spin a layer of silk for protection and this structure is called a cocoon. They remain in the chrysalis for about 8-12 days, depending on temperature.
It takes about two weeks to turn into a monarch butterfly
The same amount of time it takes to boil wholemeal pasta
From what I have learned. About 2 weeks
Approximately 2 weeks
science hehehe;)
Two days
The answer to how long it takes for a butterfly to transform is usually 2-6 weeks, and to improve your question.... How long does it take for a caterpillar to transform into a butterfly?
true!
it takes about 4 weeks for it to grow and cocoon and about six weeks 4 it to be a butterfly.
It takes about 6 or 7 months
yes
How long does it take for the monarch butterfly wings to dry after emerging? How long does it take for the monarch butterfly wings to dry after emerging?
how many days it take a monarch butterfly to flay to mexico at 60 km per day
Five to six weeks.
our caterpillars that we got from Bugville made their cocoons 7 days after we received them, and turned into butterflys 12 days after they made the cocoons.
The Butterfly is a resurrection or (Life after Death) symbol, Anastasia take note.
The cocoon stage for a caterpillar to become a butterfly can vary in length by species. Some are in their cocoon for a few weeks to a month, while some have Pupa stages that can last for two years.
It will always depend on the species. Some may stay in the larva stage (caterpillar) for a year, and may spend a whole winter in the pupa stage (as a chrysalis.) The painted lady butterfly (which is one of the most common butterflies in the world) can take as few as 3 weeks to complete its metamorphosis.
