I found another Chrysalis on the garage wall. The first image is from yesterday and the other from this morning. I hope this caterpillar stays - Id love to track the process! When the time comes for the caterpillar to create its chrysalis it turns a greyish color and begins to spin a silk-like substance into a ball on top or against a malleable surface. It then attaches its rear end to the silk lump and hangs upside down in a j position. By small contractions of the muscles it begins to shed its skin and head revealing a soft pinkish tan form. Quickly the soft form hardens and becomes greyish brown. The chrysalis stays in this form for eleven to twenty-one days. from Wikipedia. 2015 © cathy weeks
