I have searched for the past 2 days online trying my hardest to identify this cocoon, but have had no luck so I have turned to this forum.

I live in northwest Arkansas, and found this on the side of our screen door.
It looks metallic, with golden spikes, and is roughly 1 inch long, maybe 1/3-1/2 inch wide.
PLEASE HELP IDENTIFY, It's driving me crazy not knowing!!

Thank you for you help!!

I found this just by googling Chrysalis and then clicking on images. Sometime less words are better than more giving you a broader search area.
The when I found I was close I goolged Fritillary Chrysalis and came up with this

which led me to this one
