swallowtail caterpillarsPupa ID
Hello, Here in the wet Northwest, our family has been watching what appears to be a pupa for four months. It is attached to a small rosebush on our deck. Can anyone identify it? When can we expect a metamorphosis?
Thanks,
Elliott,

Hi Elliot,
The silken girdle that keeps this chrysalis upright immediately identifies it as one of the Swallowtail Butterflies. Sorry, we cannot identify the exact species.
