Black Swallowtail Chrysalis

Papilio polyxenes asterius

Description:

My daughter has at least four chrysalis in this container. Black Swallowtails.

Habitat:

The plants are dill. once we saw we had caterpillars, moved the plants to this container and placed the sticks and netting to protect them from a wasp who was decimating our population.

Notes:

We have a new crop of tiny caterpillars on some of our other dill. :-)
