How long does a single checker spot butterfly live
2to4weeks
tweenty days
10 days
It is known to live for a day then die. I am not sure whether or not it is true.
As long as a regular butterfly. They die after they lay eggs!
Painted butterfly's live for approximetly 54 days, (thats their whole lifespan, egg - butterfly) but when there a butterfly only 14 days, (2 weeks)
The red admiral butterfly lives about 10 mouths or so.
18 seconds
butterfly fish live longer in the wild if you keep them they most likey will live 3-5 years they make really really good pets too !!!!!
A day represents a different portion of A butterfly's life depending on the species of butterfly. There are some species that only live a few weeks as adult butterflies, and others that live for months ( like the mourning cloak, monarch, and compton's tortoiseshell). That would make each day range from being almost 4 "butterfly years" to less than half a "butterfly year". If you consider the entire time that a butterfly lives from egg to adult, the question becomes even more difficult. Some single- brooded species live only a month or so from the time they hatch as a caterpillar to the time they die as adults. Some Arctic species live for 2 years, but they spend most of that time in estivation, and only exist for a month or so as an adult butterfly. That would mean that a day is less than a tenth of a "butterfly year" if you count the entire time the insect is alive, from the time it hatches as a caterpillar. Essentially, a butterfly is just a caterpillar's means of reproduction, so the time they spend as adult butterflies is not really an accurate representation of how long their lives really are. Most of a butterfly's life is not really spent as a butterfly.
