I live in Connecticut and late this NOVEMBER, the 27th, a single adult
Junonia coenia came to my front door to sun itself. It was clearly a new
emerged adult, with the late summer/fall rose red coloration on the hindwing
undersides. I brought it inside as it would certainly die in a day or two
here in Connecticut (too cold). I am wondering if anyone knows more about
the lifespan of the last generation of J. coenia?

* Scott mentions adults live a couple of weeks in nature and up to a
month in the lab.

* Opler mentions the late summer/fall generation may live much longer
than the other generations.

My buckeye is now tattered and worn, but still alive after 70 days,
surviving on a feeding of sugar water almost daily.
