How long does it take a butterfly to come out of its chrysalis?

The time that a lava spends in pupation may be brief, as with the Monarch butterfly who only stay in a chrysalis for 2 weeks. However, some species enter into a dormant state when they start pupation and stay in this stage until the appropriate season. They mostly stay dormant through the winter months or during the dry season in the tropics. The time spend in the chrysalis is different for each species of Butterfly. A butterfly does not spin a cocoon, its pupa is called a chrysalis. A moth, however, spins a protective silk case which is known as a cocoon.

Your girlfiend will barely hold hands with you?

she is probably a christian or a catholic or something or else just good moraled. Don't push her to do what you want her to do. Don't break up with her because of it either. Just give her time. Or ask her to marry you. Then she will hold hands with you. Seriously though, she must be really nice. Also, don't think she doesn't love you. Take it from me, who is the same way. I was brought up to know that you don't get all touchy-feely with a guy until your married, and sometimes if you do hold hands you start to get comfy cozy around them. Do me a favor and respect her limits okay? Good luck!

Are there any poison catapilliars?

yes

There are a couple of venomous caterpillars. They don't bite, but have spines or spikes on their bodies that will inflict a nasty wound. Fatalities are very rare, though they do happen. A woman from Alberta Canada died this year after stepping on a spiny caterpillar while in Peru. Most likely she stepped on a member of the Lonomia family.

The Lonomia Caterpillar which is one of the few that can cause serious damage is found throughout South America. It's sting can cause fatal hemoraging and kidney failure. Most however, just leave you with a bad sting, which will cause burning, inflammation around the sting, numbness, swelling and in some cases nausea, all depending upon what you came in contact with.

Here are a few more that can cause a bad sting: Saddleback caterpillar Puss caterpillar Io moth caterpillar Hag caterpillar Buck moth caterpillar Spiny oak-slug caterpillar Flannel moth caterpillar

Does the wooly bear caterpillar drink water?

Yes. It gets it's water from the leaves it eats. so you don't need to give it separate water.

Not sure about that last answer since it really didn't offer any intelligent information, but woolly bears get the majority of their water through the plants they eat, and small bits caught in the grass/soil/leaves. There is a good read on them at this site:

http://www.asktheexterminator.com/Caterpillar/Woolly_Bear_Caterpillar.shtml

Specifically, it states: Make sure to add a small amount of water once every two weeks or so. Hope that helps.

How do you get rid of downloader.agent.5.E?

I was able to remove this with Security Task Manager - I just downloaded a trial to see what running processes I didn't recognize. AVG found the virus but didn't remove it (I didn't try AVG in safe mode.)

I found this Trojan through AVG, which identified it. I reasoned that I had to stop the processing of the downloader, so I went to the task manager (ctrl-alt-del) to make the program stop. Then I went to the search function and located the program. Once I found the full location of the program, I opened up the folder and physically searched for the program. When I found the executable program, I removed it. I emptied the trash. I re-scanned the system and found that the Trojan was removed.
