From the website defenders.com:

"Size: Butterflies come in a variety of sizes. The world's smallest known species, the blue pygmy found in southern California, has a wingspan of just over half an inch [ca. 13 mm]. The largest species, New Guinea's Queen Alexandra's birdwing, can measure up to twelve inches from wingtip to wingtip. [ca 305 mm]

The length of a typical butterfly is comparable to the wingspan. Probably a bit less.
