Maximum life span ranges from about 4 days for the Spring Azure to 10 to 11 months for the Mourning Cloak. Just as with people, females generally live longer than males. Butterflies which hibernate or go into reproductive diapause also tend to live longer.

The Monarch butterflies usually live to around 12-14 days. The bigger ones found in Australia up North (The big blue ones) can live up to 6 months, its due to the longevity properties from the nectar from the plants.

As soon as a butterfly reproduces itself it dies
