It takes about a month for the adult butterfly to develop (from
egg to pupa to adult).
The life span of the adult monarch is different, depending on the season it becomes a butterfly. Adults that come out of the pupa in early summer have the shortest life spans and live for about two to five weeks. Those that come out of the pupa in late summer survive over the winter months. They live about 8-9 months.
