Question: What are the differences between the Monarch butterfly and the Painted Lady butterfly as they grow from caterpillar to butterfly?

Hypothesis: I believe that one of the differences will be the Painted Lady will turn into a butterfly sooner because it is a smaller butterfly than the Monarch butterfly. It will be interesting to see if there are any other differences like size or shape of the cocoon.

Conclusion: I wondered what the difference would be between the Painted Lady and Monarch as they turned into butterflies. I was right that the Painted Lady turned into a butterfly sooner. Another difference is that the Painted Lady chrysalis is tan and the Monarch is light green. Also, the Monarch chrysalis is bigger.
