Nymphalis antiopa
The creation of the chrysalis. This one unfortunately did not make it; assassin bug came by.
Yes, Jemma: it secreted the white powdery silk. It turned reddish-white after few hours.
awesome spot. So did it form the white powdery stuff by secreting it?
I was just lucky to be there at the right time to witness that.
what a freaky cocoon and an awesome chrysalis! great job!
