The pupa or crysalis of a butterfly takes various lengths of time to develop, this is also very species specific. Some species can go from egg to adult in under two months, while other larger specimens can stay in the pupal stage for almost a full year.
You should narrow your question down to one particular species, or if you want just general information, you can simply google "butterfly coccoon" or something.
