adult butterflies are able to live for 2 weeks or almost a year and a half, depending on the species species. Most species go through a rather long larval rate, and some can become dormant when in egg levels in order to wade through the winter.
Butterflies can lay eggs many times each year. The number of offspring is very influential on climate, butterflies living in the tropics are able to lay more eggs in a year than those living in the subtropics.
Butterflies are plant-pollinating insects, which help the flowers develop into fruits. This is very beneficial for flower farmers.
