How long does it take a butterfly to come out of its chrysalis?
The time that a lava spends in pupation may be brief, as with the Monarch butterfly who only stay in a chrysalis for 2 weeks. However, some species enter into a dormant state when they start pupation and stay in this stage until the appropriate season. They mostly stay dormant through the winter months or during the dry season in the tropics. The time spend in the chrysalis is different for each species of Butterfly. A butterfly does not spin a cocoon, its pupa is called a chrysalis. A moth, however, spins a protective silk case which is known as a cocoon.
