Well depending on the species and how long ago its last meal was, it can live for anywhere from a few days to possibly a month or more. Spiders arent always sucessful predators and are commonly seen going several weeks without food, plus, if a spider can get in behind there, there is a good chance that many insects can get in there too, many of the ones you dont see in your house......I wont scare you with that too....you have enough of a problem with the spider!\n\nhaha, hope this helps!

There are very big differences depending upon species.\nMonarch and Red Admiral butterflies live long enough to migrate.\nSome butterflies hibernate, e.g. Red Admiral.\nThere are many species that can only survive the Winter as dormant pupae.\nSometimes there can be two or three complete life cycles within a season.\nOccasionally the life span of the imago (the 'butterfly') is indeed very short but remember that insect life cycles involve:\negg - larva (caterpillar) - pupa (crysallis) - imago.\nGenerally, only the pupal stage overwinters.

just get a habitrail and keep it as a pet.\nYou can nurse it back to health. It probably wont be able to survive long outside with the injuries it has sustained.\nI caught one once and kept it as a pet it was pretty cool.

There is 1 baby female living at Sea World San Diego, but I don't know if she's visible to the public. This little 7 footer currently has the record for surviving in captivity - 54 days as of 11/7/2006.\n\nGreat Whites don't survive after they're captured, and scientists are trying to figure out why. The previous record was 16 days back in August 1981.\n\nFor some reason, after about 10 days sharks stop eating, start swimming erratically, bumping off of walls, and eventually sink to the bottom of the holding tank, where they drown. If a shark doesn't keep water over its gills, it doesn't get any oxygen and dies.\n\nLots of things have proven to be involved - great whites can detect as little as 0.01 volts of electricity in the water. This transient voltage interferes with their guidance or feeding instincts and they batter themselves against the cage trying to get to the source of the signal. \n\nThe facility in San Diego has no electronics of any kind directly mounted on or near the tank. The tank is also significantly bigger than previous efforts: 1,000,000+ gallons. The researchers also took several days to acclimate the young shark in a fenced off area of the ocean, gradually reducing the size until it was the same size as its million gallon intended home.\n\nDespite years of research, very little is actually known about Great Whites. How deep they can go? What are their reproductive habits? How often do they give birth? Why are their movement patterns over a lifetime? All of these questions are still mysteries.\n\nGive it a few years. Once we get answers to some of the basic questions, we might be able to keep them in captivity. Hopefully we'll be able to not only learn from them, but protect them so our children and grandchildren can enjoy them, too.\n\nHope that answers your question,\nOdd

Depends on if its an adult tick or a freshly hatched tick.... if adult how much blood has it sucked on its last feeding? If an average sized tick it could survive for about 1 to 2 weeks... but usually they will find a way out of the house before that time is up, they are so small they can get outside w/o windows and doors being opened....

There is a whole order of insects with a similar life expectancy.  It is called Ephemeroptera.  The name comes from the same root as ephemeral, meaning of short duration or fleeting.  The Ephemeroptera are commonly called mayflys.  They have a long life as larvae on the bottoms of streams and rivers.  After two or three years, they come out in the adult stage, mate, lay eggs and die.  They do not eat, serve as fish food while they try to lay their eggs and are gone.  They may live more than one day but not by much.\nI don't know of any organism that actually has a total life span of only one day.

The length of these journeys far exceeds the lifetime of a Monarch (lives four days as egg, two weeks as caterpillar, ten days as chrysalis, and two to six weeks as a butterfly). \n\n\nMetamorphosis\nThe life cycle of a Monarch includes a change of form called complete metamorphosis. The Monarch goes through four radically different stages:\n\nThe eggs are laid by the females during spring and summer breeding months. \nThe eggs hatch, revealing worm-like larva, the caterpillars. The caterpillars consume their egg cases, then feed on milkweed, and sequester substances called cardenolides, related to the cardiac glycoside digitalis. During the caterpillar stage, Monarchs store energy in the form of fat and nutrients to carry them through the non-feeding pupa stage. \nIn the pupa or chrysalis stage, the caterpillar spins a silk pad on a twig, leaf, etc. and hangs from this pad by its last pair of prolegs. It hangs upside down in the shape of a 'J', and then molts, leaving itself encased in an articulated green exoskeleton. At this point, hormonal changes occur, leading to the development of a butterfly. \nThe mature butterfly emerges after about two weeks.

Soon after mating, impregnated females deposit fertilized eggs by dipping their abdomens into shallow water alongside vegetation, or into soft muck. The eggs undergo a maturation over winter and hatch into larvae the next spring. The ugly larvae have been called little "dirt balls" since dirt clings to the hairs that cover their bodies. They are voracious aquatic predators feeding night and day (the larva at the left was cleaned up for the photograph by Lauren Pintor). They capture their food by means of a hinged lower lip that can be flipped forward to trap prey on stiff bristles. The lip can be extended about a third of the length of the larva's body, giving them enough reach to even capture small fish. Larvae breathe by means of gills inside the anal chamber, into which water is pumped, then forcibly expelled. \n\nOver a 3-4 year period, larvae molt many times as they grow their way toward adulthood and an aerial existence. When they reach a pre-adult stage, they stop feeding and crawl out of the water onto vegetation, where they gulp air to inflate and expand their bodies. They break out of their larval skin and next inflate their wings, which become outstretched. Thereafter they wait as their body parts dry. Then they take flight to feed on other flying insects some distance from their watery birthplace. \n\nThe adults live for only 4-7 weeks. After vigorous daylight feeding on mosquitoes, deerflies, flying ants, and whatever they can capture in flight, females return to water after copulating to lay their eggs. Males join them and patrol the swale or pond where eggs are being deposited. It is a short, but intense, adulthood of feeding, sexual interaction, and egg deposition.

A mosquito can live 1 month if it has enough blood each day but if it hasn't it can only live 1 day.

A tortoise can live for 170 years, one recently was found with an old ball musket round embeded in it.  The average lifespan for Females is around 80 years and males about 74.  It is difficult to give any degree of precision because of so many external factors that influence this number.  However, on a small scale there are bacteria that can live many thousands of years while frozen.

Life expectancy of animals and plants\nThe vast majority of animals have shorter life expectancies than humans do, and typically the lifespan of the animal increases with size. Some examples include:\n\nCats have lifespans in the 14-20 year range. \nLarge herbivores (cattle, horses, camels, deer) in the 30-50 year range. \nBirds usually live 10-30 years, with parrots - particularly macaws - and several seabirds notable exceptions, with lifespans ranging from 40-80 years. \nElephants have lifespans of 50-80 years. \nBlue whales can live from 40 to 80 years. \nBowhead whales are thought to live up to 200 years, with a few individuals found to have century-old harpoons embedded in their blubber. \nDogs live 10-25 years. \nSome turtles live to 150 years or more. \nCertain trees have almost outlived recorded human history; the baobab tree can live for 1,000-4,000 years, although it is understandably difficult to measure this. Similarly long-lived are olive trees, domesticated in the Mediterranean. Several olive trees still alive today were nurtured by the ancient Greeks. \nMany corals can potentially live for over 100,000 years. However, there is no consensus among marine biologists how to determine age of a coral, and whether or not it is really a single organism.

Bees live on their honey during the winter.  Many other insects do die, but only after laying eggs that will hatch in the spring.\n\nCheck this out:  http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Entomology/ythfacts/allyr/yf806.htm

im not sure what type of fly you are referring to but the common house fly has a life spanof7 to 10 days in which time they go from egg, to larva to pupa to adult some adult. flies in the north  may survive indoors for serveral months

It will live as long as you keep it healthy.  Spider plants propate by sending out those little shooters.  Even as one part of the plant dies back, the new and younger parts will grow and replace it.  It will only die if you don't take care of it.  My mother has a spider plant that she has had for probably 25 years... she's actually made several new ones from the shooters off of the original.  :)

It depends on the species.  Diamond back moths (Plutellidae) can go through their entire life span in a couple weeks.  Some species overwinter as caterpillars, so it takes months for them to become a butterfly.

that is their habitat.  how do u survive in ur habitat.  like penquins in the antarctic.   how do they survive.
