a few weeks
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?
the butterfly the butterfly
They make a cucun and stay there for a long time
it takes about 4 weeks for it to grow and cocoon and about six weeks 4 it to be a butterfly.
First it spins a cocoon and turns to a jelly like thing which is called a pupa for about 2 weeks and then transforms into a butterfly.
Until they turn into butterflies. And the butterflies die. t depends on how old the caterpillar is.
well its a caterpillar for two week and then turns into a butterfly and lives for two more weeks
(BY COMP_UTER15776)there are lots. it depends where you are from. oh, and wait until it hatches if you can, then, if you own it, study the butterfly or moth that emerges, but be patient, and make sure it gets fed!(BY COMP_UTER15776)
it takes about 10 to 14 days for a mourning cloak butterfly to get out of cocoon.
The caterpillar remains in the chrysalis for as little as 2 weeks as the body is transformed into the body of a butterfly. Some species sit over winter, and the butterfly emerges in the spring. A few days before the emergence of the adult butterfly, the chrysalis becomes translucent, and the butterfly coloring and wings are visible though the chrysalis. The chrysalis splits, and a new butterfly is born.
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.
it really just depends on which type of caterpillar it is. most caterpillar's eat leaves. if you wet a leaf and leave it on the grass it will come and drink the water on the leaf and then munch on the leaf until the caterpillar, well, doesn't wan;t to eat anymore.
