It depends on the species. Some overwinter for months before hatching. Some only take a week or so. The callosamia angulifera and antherea polyphemus I'm raising now hatched from their eggs in 22-25 days.

∙ 13y agoIt takes a Moth two full weeks in a card board box, surrounded by vegetation to grow. To see for your self, grab a card board box. Once you have gotten your card board box, stick leaves or any kind of vegetation in it. Simply grab furry fat and heavy caterpillar looking thing. THat would most likely be a moth still in it's second stage. The first stage is an egg. moth eggs normally rest on leaves. Once you have your fat caterpillar, place it in your box of leaves. In a few days , the fat caterpillar will create a cacoon - Cacoons are for moths NOT butterflies- Then, when the two weeks pass, look into your box to find the moths hatched and flying.

∙ 12y agoIt takes about 2 and a half weeks, but that could depend on the type of moth it is. If it doesn't hatch before then, I would keep an eye on it until you notice something.

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.
