Question

What is the average life span of a butterfly?

Answer 1

2-3 days after they have come out of the cacoon.

They live as caterpillars for much longer.

They can be weeks in the cacoon.

Answer 2

once they come out of their cocoons, they can live for about 2 days...all they'll do is mate and once laid their eggs, they die...

Answer 3

I once heard it was 24-48 hours. I don't know if that's true or not...probably not. I'm such a dofus.

Answer 4

mostly 14 days due to many animals that feeds on them daily.like frogs and other reptiles.

i hope i helped!
