Red-spotted purple chrysalis (Life cycle series) - Limenitis arthemis

Red-spotted purple chrysalis (Life cycle series) - Limenitis arthemis
Racine, Racine County, Wisconsin, USA
June 22, 2008
Size: 7/8 inch
Red-spotted Purple chrysalis with initially unidentified appendage. I was nervous this might be casing of some type of parasite. Once the butterfly emerged, it was clear what the foreign appendage was.
