I like the second picture better because of the way the transparent wings show. I checked to see if it's here in Broward County. So far none have been reported. I guess there is no homegrown here...(joke)
Those links are great Ed.
I have a picture I took today I am posting in the identification forum and thought I might post it here first to give you guys & gals a wack at it.
It didn't rain today allowing me to get out and do some serious exploring looking for chrysalis of anything. Didn't find anything. Under one bush I took the following picture. I have seen these things before here, only when I saw them previously they were hardened shells. This shot shows them (white) when they first start? (growing) there are three white one's in the lower front. Then they turn into the brownish prickley looking things just above the three white one's. Then they turn into greyish light blue 1/2 shells filled with? (seeds.) The one's I have previously observed are hard and have dried out with a thin shell that crushes easily in your fingers. They are usually on wood or wood chips, as they are in the photo. They look similar to barnacles you might see on a deserted boat bottom. I only see them in places that are out of the sun. This photo shows them under a bush in deep shade. They are about 1/4 inch in diameter. I have seen lots of them around the yard. I am thinking they are some kind of fungi due to them always appearing on wood.
Any ideas?
