This chrysalis is on my garage. Wondering what it is.

Moved from ID Request.

Looks a lot
like the one I posted a couple of days ago (currently residing in Frass). Charley Eiseman identified it as likely belonging to a Cabbage White or another member of the Pieridae family--in the Guide here.

Incidentally, I assume you meant the size to read 1.8cm, not mm.

Thanks for the ID and also for the correction on size.
