Anyone know the name of the moth or butterfly in this chrysalis?

It's a fritillary butterfly, possibly a variegated fritillary - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euptoieta_claudia

Beautiful! I found about twenty hummingbird moth chrysalises last week in my garden, too. Great time of year for finding these guys, but we should try to avoid moving them except by accident!
