How long does it take a painted lady butterfly to emerge from it's chrysalis?

We ordered caterpillars through the mail. They are chrysalis's now. How long will it take for the butterfly to emerge?How long does it take a painted lady butterfly to emerge from it's chrysalis?
We also ordered some thru the mail. The care packet that came with them said they will emerge about 7-10 days after they form the chrysalis. Ours are actually coming out as I type. My son is going nuts!!How long does it take a painted lady butterfly to emerge from it's chrysalis?
It will take approximately 7-11 days for them to emerge. They will emerge quicker if it is warmer. DO NOT PUT THEM IN A SPOT THAT WILL PROBABLY MAKE YOU COLD! REMEMBER-THEY STILL ARE ALIVE!
