How long does a single checker spot butterfly live
Brimstone butterflies, like other butterfly species, will eat nectar from flowers. They will also eat rotting fruit, pollen, dung, and tree sap.
The Atlas moth has the shortest life span. They spend about a month in their cocoons. After coming out of the cocoon, they live about one to two weeks as an adult then usually die.

Opinions from Contributors:They were called butorflēoge, buttorflēoge, or buterflēoge in Old English, which evolved to buterflie, butturflye, or boterflye in Middle English, and finally butterfly in modern English. In German, there is a similar association with dairy products throughout the history of the word's evolution.The term 'Butterfly' is derived from the yellow brimstone butterfly of Europe, which was first seen in the 'butter' season (early spring).The original name of the butterfly was 'flutterby'.
