It completely depends on the butterfly species as well Butterfly Heart I’m not retired I’m a professional grandma shirt as factors like predation, food source and much more (the actual answer of wild butterflies average life length cannot really be known). Usually smaller butterflies will not live as long as larger ones, but it really comes down to their cold-blooded nature, so when cold spells hit many butterflies will die (if they have not migrated or hibernated). In the UK, some such as the Peacock and Small Tortoiseshell will hibernate over winter so some adults will live longer than their “season” but the majority of species will not live beyond a few months (if not less). Species like Monarch and Painted ladies migrate during winter so they will again survive more than one season.
