    Butterflies, in the wild, may live seconds to two weeks or even longer. Zebra Longwing butterflies can live for up to 9 months. Mourning Cloak butterflies overwinter and hide in the bark of trees etc.

    Then too there is the Monarch. The 4th or 5th generation lives up to 9 months. It is the generation that does the migration.
