The poor thing spends 9 days in the egg stage, 40 days in five larval stages, and 13 days as a pupa, before emerging as a butterfly. After all that, it's finally time to party hearty, right? Nope. It won't live very long because as near as they can figure it doesn't have any way to eat. After all that trouble getting gussied up it must have some way of whispering sweet nothings though, because it must get laid or they would have died out.
