The time it takes for a caterpillar to enter its cocoon, or chrysalis, varies by species. Generally, caterpillars undergo several weeks to months of feeding and growth before they are ready to pupate. Once they reach maturity, they can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days to form their cocoon or chrysalis, depending on environmental conditions and species-specific behaviors.
about ten days
This is really dependant on the type of caterpillar you have. :) It can take a few weeks, but before winter arrives, butterflies have the ability to make the process last for mos. at a time.
