Then it finds a sheltered place like a twig. Inside the crysalis it grows wings, the prolegs disappear and it turns into a butterfly. It takes 10- 14 days for it to emerge as a butterfly. This is the butterfly stage. Butterflies can live for 9 months but most die in 1 week.
Butterflies have to find a mate to have babies.
Butterflies spend most of the time eating. Butterflies eat nectar. At night butterflies go under a leaf.
