Papilio canadensis pupa
Did you manage to rear this chrysalis? I am curious as to whether it was a canadensis or a glaucus.

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I didn't
I was planning on rearing it, but I lost it somewhere along the way.

Too bad - would have been nice to see the adult.
The shape of the pupa in the two species seems to be different, and assuming (maybe too big of an assumption?) that this is reliable, this looks like P. canadensis. Also, in Maine, I think odds are very high that this is which species it would be.
