The answer to how long it takes for a butterfly to transform is usually 2-6 weeks, and to improve your question.... How long does it take for a caterpillar to transform into a butterfly?
a few weeks
the butterfly the butterfly
They make a cucun and stay there for a long time
First it spins a cocoon and turns to a jelly like thing which is called a pupa for about 2 weeks and then transforms into a butterfly.
well its a caterpillar for two week and then turns into a butterfly and lives for two more weeks
it takes about 10 to 14 days for a mourning cloak butterfly to get out of cocoon.
It will always depend on the species. Some may stay in the larva stage (caterpillar) for a year, and may spend a whole winter in the pupa stage (as a chrysalis.) The painted lady butterfly (which is one of the most common butterflies in the world) can take as few as 3 weeks to complete its metamorphosis.
The length of the cocoon stages depends on the type of caterpillar. For Monarch butterflies it is 10 days long.
Butterflies can be symbols of hope, beauty, and new life. A butterfly begins as a caterpillar, small, helpless, and typically ugly. When it comes out of the cocoon, it has been transformed into a beautiful butterfly, a creature capable of spreading its wings and soaring towards the sky. The world looks pretty pitiful from the standpoint of a caterpillar, but before long its life will have a much different, more hopeful outlook.

each caterpillar has the same DNA as the butterfly its going to be.
