This picture was taken today 3/24/2010. It was just a caterpillar yesterday, but today it is a chrysalis. The caterpillar was primarily gray and brown with tufts

Dear Rob,
This is the chrysalis of a Gulf Fritillary.  The caterpillars feed on passionflower vine leaves, and the butterflies are a lovely orange color.  Compare your image to this photo on BugGuide.
