I have a black swallowtail chrysalis now that pupated in early October. Here is a photo right after he shed his final skin. Right now he is hanging from his twig in a mason jar under the celosia in the backyard.

I am wondering where some good locations are to leave a chrysalis for overwintering?

I also garden a lot for wildlife, with special attention to plants that attract the pollinators e.g. as larval host plants or nectar sources. I also have several shrubs and vines that produce berries that birds are supposed to love.
