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.
