Hate to say it man but she will die in about a week.

If you only have one canary then it can not be fertile but if you have a male and female then you may see some babies soon.If they arent fertile she will throw the eggs out of the nest herself.

the exact same as most animals mate\n\nAfter mating, the female beetles pack bits of decaying wood into a pile. She then sticks her ovipositor into the pile and lays an egg. Usually this is in a stump, log, or dead tree.\n\nThe egg hatches in three to four months, and a larva immediately starts to feed on the dead wood where it is born. It eats and grows for about eight months.

no they dont lay egg they carry the eggs in a pouch til they are ready to hatch

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.

for all intent and purposes, it depends, was it on it's back when found.. in the home... what was it's color... but in the general \nsense, when you find a butterfly in the deceased process it means\nfor all literal purposes, is that it it is dead, no longer amounts the living, failure in it's ability to exist, won't breathe no more, met it's maker, checked out, deeped sixed, been filed to the 13th file, been sent to the round file, smelled it's last buttercup, found it's last dandelion, etc. want to really know what it means e-me.

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.

The peahen lays the eggs.

If you're going to relocate the eggs, please do NOT rotate them or change their position. Unlike bird eggs, turtle eggs need to stay in one position throughout the incubation period. \nYou can try putting them in a container filled with sand, and add more sand to cover them. Then place the container in an undisturbed place where the amount of sunlight and direct sun exposure is approximately the same as they have now. All you can do afterwards is wait; make sure that the substrate doesn't get too dry (keep it under similar conditions as your yard has now). Incubation will last a few months, depending on the species and environmental conditions.\n\nI have to be honest: there are not many chances that these eggs will develop normally and/or hatch, but if they're going to pave the yard, that's about their best opportunity.\nOf course, if there is any wildlife rescue unit near your place, you should contact them. \n\nRemember: do not rotate the eggs or move them any more than it's strictly necessary. \nGood luck!

I have always favored the butterfly opsed to any other insect.  however if to be a butterfly i would have to go through the evolving part i would say know.  I have stepped on many a caterpiller.  oops!  i have a tatoo of a butterfly that used to be a spider.  I callit my spiderfly.  my fiance calls me his iron butterfly.  cause i am strong and yet gental.

My sister did this and it was very pretty. The company that supplied them brought them in pretty "cages". The butterflies were cold which allowed us to take pictures with the butterflies resting on dresses, etc. During the ceremony, they warmed up. As my sister and her husband walked out, the wedding party released the butterflies. It looked wonderful.

Most foreign doves lay two white eggs, which they incubate from twelve to eighteen days. They feed their squabs by regurgitation as do domestic pigeons, and these stay in the nest much longer than do the young of tame pigeons, which is a -real advantage. Some of the larger species, such as cuckoo and other doves, lay only a single egg at each setting. Thus, the Luzon Bleeding Heart lays two eggs each time, whereas the Bartlett Bleeding Heart dove lays but one. The reason for this difference is not known.

They hatch from eggs. At first they are little larvae (squiggly white wormy things), then they pupate, metamorphose, and emerge as flies.

As to where the color itself comes from:\n\n"The wings of butterflies and moths consist of a colorless translucent membrane covered by a layer of scales (the name of the order is Lepidoptera, meaning 'scaly wings'). Each scale is a flattened outgrowth of a single cell and is about 100 µm long and 50 µm wide. The scales overlap like roof tiles and completely cover the membrane, appearing as dust to the naked eye. \n\nIn butterflies, iridescence is caused by multiple slit interference. Sunlight contains a full range of light wavelengths. "Interference" occurs when light hitting the wing combines with light reflected off the wing. Light is a wave. If the crests and the troughs of the waves are aligned, or "in phase", they will cause constructive interference and iridescence. This happens when the one light wave hits the first groove, and a second light wave travels half of a wavelength to an other groove and is reflected back in phase with the first. If the crest of one wave meets the trough of an other wave ("out of phase"), they will cancel each other out, demising the overall light intensity."\n\nAs to WHY they are colored, this answer applies to Morpho Blues, but can be applied to other butterflies as well:\n\n"Iridescent surfaces, such as butterfly wings, help animals to elude potential predators. When these insects fly, the upper surface of their wings continually changes from bright blue to dull brown because the angle of the light striking the wing changes. As the butterflies move their wings up and down during flight, they seem to disappear and they reappear a short distance away, looking like ethereal flashes of bright blue light. The dark undersides of their wings strengthen this effect. Combined with an undulating pattern of flight, this ability to quickly change color makes them difficult items for predators to pursue."

they live for up to 48 hours on their quest for the egg.  then they will be passed or absorbed once they die.

If you mean laying eggs, then they can lay every day if they are well fed and taken care of.\n\nIf you mean incubation period, the egg will hatch in about 21 days.
