Moth keepers- Lifespan of your moth(s)?

Captive

Hello,

I want to know how long your captive moths lived. I had a Sphinx moth (Manduca sexta) raised from a hornworm, in the adult stage it lived exactly two weeks. How long have your moths lived?

I am also curious how it compares to the wild, I've seen some people say they can live as long as two months but are these captive or wild?
