Swallowtail chrysalis's

[Woody Woods]

One suggestion-- some species I have worked with are cued to enter diapause
as pupae by short days encountered as 5th instars. I don't know how this
species overwinters but if as pupae then their emergence may depend upon the
light cycle to which they were exposed as larvae-- if they were outdoors
you're likely OK.
