Eastern Black Swallowtail Chrysalis

Papilio polyxenes

Description:

Eastern Black Swallowtail Chrysalis on parsley.

Habitat:

Parsley

Notes:

I noticed when Black Swallowtails spin up on Parsley, they take on a greenish hue similar to the color of parsley. When they spin up on a stick or branch, they take on the color of the branch.
