Some of my BST chrysalides are a bright green, others the usual dull brown. So interesting! They've all been eating the same parsley and dill, out of my gardens.
And the difference between the actual morphing into the chrysallis stage, between the GF's and the BST's is amazing to me. Of course, I've only see two BST's and one GF actually change into the chrysallis, but the BST's I watched just sort of magically and quietly, quickly evolved into the chrysallis. The GF, on the other hand, looked like it was doing gymnastics! It wriggled and writhed as it changed, I almost wanted the process to hurry and be over for the poor little guy!
