The oil and gas industry is an exception, with businesses predicting an average raise of 4% this year. At the bottom end of the spectrum are hospital workers, who typically were expected to bring home just 2% more in 2015 than they did in 2014.
While some insects, like moths, spin a cocoon, a butterfly uses a chrysalis, which is essentially hardened skin. Different species of butterflies stay in the chrysalis, or pupal stage, for different periods of time. This can range from about seven days to more than a year, but for a large number of species it is less than 30 days. The well-known monarch butterfly, for example, spends between nine and 14 days in a chrysalis, while the painted lady butterfly spends only seven to 10 days in the chrysalis.
When the Monarch materializes from its chrysalis, it emerges as a beautiful butterfly of deep orange, black and white. As an adult, their main duty is to reproduce, and will do so several times in their life. The monarchâs lifespan varies depending on when they emerge as a pupa and whether or not it will migrate.
