Josephine,

Not sure what it is...sort of looks like a Variegated Frit but it's lacking some markings that really define the head and wings. How big is it? Do you think it's small like a metalmark butterfly or bigger like one of the fritillaries?

Do keep us informed!!!

Here's the topside of a VF chrysalis. Like I said, the bumps look similar in shape and color but the rest of the body is missing the markings that define the body.
