Butterflies are all different sizes. The biggest butterfly is the Queen Alexandria Birdwing. The butterfly has a wingspan of 11 to 12 inches.
Butterflies don't grow, when they come out of the chrysalis and stretch their wings, that's it.

The largest butterfly variety is in Papua New Guinea, and it's got a wingspan of 1 foot.

It is known as the Queen Alexandra's birdwing

It actually depends on the time of year. Final broods may have caterpillars and/or chrysalis overwintering.

But putting that circumstance aside, adults on average take a week to 2 weeks to hatch.

Butterflies emerge from the chrysalis full grown. They only grow in the Larva or caterpillar stage.
