Approximately 3 weeks. Females lay eggs 5 to 7 days after emerging from the chrysalis. The eggs hatch after three days. Caterpillars emerge from the eggs and eat for 10 to 12 days before forming chrysalides. Adult butterflies emerge from the chrysalides in 7 to 10 days.

How long does a caterpillar stay in a chrysalis?

The caterpillar remains in the chrysalis for as little as 2 weeks as the body is transformed into the body of a butterfly. Some species sit over winter, and the butterfly emerges in the spring. A few days before the emergence of the adult butterfly, the chrysalis becomes translucent, and the butterfly coloring and wings are visible though the chrysalis. The chrysalis splits, and a new butterfly is born.


Does a butterfly lay eggs or gives birth to a young?

Butterflies and moths lay eggs * Egg - A butterfly starts its life as an egg. * Larva - The larva (caterpillar) hatches from an egg and eats leaves or flowers almost constantly. The caterpillar molts (loses its old skin) many times as it grows. * Pupa - It turns into a pupa (chrysalis); this is a resting stage. * Adult - A beautiful, flying adult emerges. There is no growth during this stage. This adult will continue the cycle and reproduce. A butterfly does lay eggs on leaves. They then hatch to become a caterpillar who only eats leaves. When the caterpiller hatches it sometimes eats its one shell for its first meal.


In how many days caterpillar turn into a butterfly?

Depending on the species, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to many months. Arctic species often spend close to a year in the chrysalis before emerging. Keep in mind though that the caterpillar is not "in the chrysalis." The caterpillar forms the chrysalis inside of itself when it is fully grown, then sheds its skin to become the chrysalis. A chrysalis therefore is not like a cocoon containing an insect; it is the insect.

How many butterfly years in a day?

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.
