    How long does each stage of a butterfly’s life last?

    It varies a lot depending on temperatures, abundance of food, etc. The eggs usually take several days to hatch. The caterpillars usually take about a week to reach the size at which they look for a place to pupate. The pupa (chrysalis) usually hatches in about a week too.
