Cecropia caterpillars typically live for about 4 to 6 weeks before they pupate. During this time, they go through several molts, growing significantly in size. After pupation, they will eventually emerge as adult moths, completing their life cycle. Overall, the entire life cycle from egg to adult can take around 2 to 3 months, depending on environmental conditions.
