How long does a orchid live in the wild?

What type of orchid are you referring at?  Generally speaking, some orchids can last more than a week.  Its all depend in which country you are referring at.  I wish I can give you more information.

By and large, trees don't have absolute lifespans, as animals do. \n\nAccording to The Straight Dope, the most striking illustration of this is the bristlecone pine, Pinus aristata. A 1948 field guide noted that bristlecones reached maturity in 200-250 years, with "extreme ages of 300-375 years." Yet only 10 years later a researcher discovered a stand of bristlecones whose average age exceeded 4,000 years and in one case 4,600 years.\n\nOther examples are less dramatic but still instructive. Red maples live 80-250 years, American chestnuts 100-300, white oaks 300-600, bald cypress 600-1,200. These extremely broad ranges suggest that assigning a "life span" to trees is merely a statistical convenience rather than a reflection of an inherent limit. It would not be surprising (to me, anyway) if much older examples of these species were found.

Well, naturally put, it could last up to two months when separated from the plant. Poison tends to stay in the part of the plant that is toxic whether or not it is separated from the plant. Unless it is waterlogged, a pretty long time.

No. But May flies only live one day in the mature state. Ordinary house flies live between 3 and 4 weeks.

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!

oh that is all nonsense, if dandelion had poor vascular system it wouldnt be able to grow on pretty dry soil. if you cannot sustain flowers without roots, than all flourists could look for new job, there ARE many plants with milky sap that u can put in a vase and they will last pretty long, etc. the fact is that dandelions make new and new flowers rather than having the same flower for a long time, so they even on the plant wont last very long. it is just general fact that dandelions will curl up and die in one days time. i suggest u mark a single dandelion in the garden, follow it from a bud, and check how long it will last and u will see that not MUCH longer then when u pick it. also take note of this: the individual little flowers of the inflorescence open from side to centre. so when the central ones are still closed (u see them packed together) the dandelion is quite young and will last longer. but if all individual little flowers (even the central ones) are open and shedding pollen -then it will not.

It depends on the kind of turtle it is. Some can live for a hundred years.

I have found reliable citations at Fishbase of 29 years, and others cite 17-15 years (for the species Chimaera monstrosa). This is not unexpected, given that these fishes, like all chondrichthyans, grow relatively slowly and take several years to become sexually mature. These are very long-lived animals.\n\nhttp://www.fishbase.org/PopDyn/PopCharList.php?ID=2503&GenusName=Chimaera&SpeciesName=monstrosa&fc=25

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

In captivity they live for about 30 years, and in the wild, average lifespan for a crow is 7-8 years.

Some Butterflies do have a very short lifespan but not 1 day, unless killed. Remember their main role in the life cycle is to breed and lay eggs. Most Butterflies can achieve mating and egg laying within a in a  10 - 14 day period and would die soon after. Males usually die a couple of days earlier than the female Other Butterflies, particularly the fruit eating ones, have a much longer adult life span of sometimes weeks and months. The Monarch Butterfly is a migratory species and the adult life span is approximately 9-10 months.

Start with two similar orchids.  One has a slightly different color that makes it occasionally attracts a male wasp.  That flower has a slight advantage that it gets a little extra pollenation.  As a result, it outpropegates it's kin a little each generation until that color is predominant.  Of course, over that time, there are other varations in scent, shape and so on.  Any variations that increase the odds of a wasp visiting gain further advantage.  The advantages accrue over time, and the orchid may become so specialized that it becomes dependent on one species of wasp.  Should the wasp become extinct, so does that variety of orchid.  Should the wasp evolve into different species, the orchids may evolve into different species as their respective wasps become increasingly different.  In fact, only one species of orchid needs to adapt to the wasps, and by divergence can become many species.

The average lifespan for a wolf in the wild is only 9 years. Wolves in captivity live much longer. They reach sexual maturity at about 2 years of age and have finished growing.

Depends on which part of the life cycle and which species.  For example, some species have a laval life span of several years, and an adult (breeding stage) life span of weeks to months...

About one week depending on the species.

From my searches it looks like they live about 2 months. Check the table in the link below to see.
