I expected this Eastern Black Swallowtail butterfly chrysalis to be brown . Usually they will be brown if they pupate on a stick.But I guess because the enclosure is on my screened in porch surrounded by woodland ....green it is!
So now we wait.
Saw one black and one yellow swallowtail fluttering around my small flower garden today. The black one flew up into one of the sunflowers and stayed among the leaves for awhile.
Just got through with eleven Monarch butterflies emerging from their chrysalises over the past few days. What an amazing process! Can’t wait to see this one after it transforms!
