Spica is a dual star system, with the two members too close for resolution by the best telescopes. The larger, primary star is a blue-white giant, and does have the potential to end it's life as a supernova. The primary is not a main sequence star. The secondary, about 70% the size of the primary, is a main sequence star, also blue white.
Stars spend about 90% of their fusion lifetimes on the main sequence.

On the main sequence.
Yes Star spend most of their life span as a main sequence star. A star end will depend on its size in life the end of a start can be a red giant to supernova, a white dwarf, pulsar, or black hole.

A very cool one.A very small and thus cool red dwarf could last around 10 trillion years on the main sequence.
