What is the typical lifespan of the little yellow butterfly?

Three to eleven (3 - 11) months is the typical lifespan of the small yellow butterfly. The lepidopteran in question (Pyrisitia lisa) models 1 - 5 flights according to northern or southern ranges and early or late spring to early fall emergences. A lifespan of 3 - 8 months will characterize those involved in spring and summer flights whereas a life expectancy of 10 - 11 months will typify those overwintering pre-adult stages after fall flights.
