It takes 7 - 11 days for the chrysalis to turn into a butterfly.
for about a week
we are clueless
it is the zebra swallowtail!!
7 to 10 days
It lives up to 5-7 months.
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.
Compared to other butterfly species, black swallowtail butterflies live long lives. As long as they avoid predators and are able to obtain food, they can live for up to a year.
Yes, tiger swallowtail butterflies (Papilio glaucus) die.Specifically, a tiger swallowtail begins as yellow-green egg. It hatches into a caterpillar that is first brown and white and then lime green with yellow eyespots with black pupils and a yellow and black line around the neck. It makes a change into the resting or pupal stage. It transforms into a beautiful butterfly long enough to produce two to three distinct broods that will hatch into the next generation of tiger swallowtail butterflies.
I've been told that caterpillars feed for a week to ten days before going into a chrysalis. Then the chrysalis stage last about a week to ten days before emerging as a butterfly (which takes less than a minute!).EDIT:Just found it for Monarch butterflies!http://monarchwatch.org/rear/kit.htmThe pupae usually form in morning hours (9-11 am) or later in the day (5-7 pm). So my guess is it only takes a few minutes.
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.
A monarch chrysalis will change from bright green to a turquoise colour before turning black,If you look close enough you can see the changes.You will see the butterfly forming.When the chrysalis is black it isn't long before it emerges.
