What an excellent spotting!
Thanks everyone! Never figured colorful larvae would be so popular!
keithp2012: The Queen butterflies all emerge looking just like Queen butterflies, regardless of chrysalis color. I've seen lots of color variations that seem to have no effect on the emerging adult.
outdooreducation15: Chrysalis color varies in a number of species of butterflies and this is just one example. Queens are closely related to the Monarch, thus the similarity in chrysalis.
Beautiful photograph!
I've only seen a Soldier in Tampa just one time. Such a neat butterfly.
Hi, I live in Zephyrhills too! Nice spotting!
Thanks for sharing, Karen. What fascinating and crazy red eyes!
Thank you kindly.
