Thank you, thank you everyone. I couldn't have done it without all the people on this forum sharing their wisdom. Now, to share a little knowledge I have...I made sure to take a pic of the chrysalis just before he came out. Since I wasn't at work this time I didn't have to worry about taking the lid off and having caterpillars all over my desk. Some of my employees are afraid of critters. We got one of those Cuban anoles (lizards) on our floor (25th!) one day and of course he goes to the desk of the person who is most freaked out. But like I told her, if you have all those nice pothos plants around, the lizards are going to want to hang out in them. Anyway, here's the chrysalis from the top side. You can see the black and white stripes on his body.
