Description: English: Variegated Fritillary Chrysalis. Date: 6 November 2016. Source: Own work. Author: Hannah Chandler. Camera location35° 46′ 48″ N, 87° 27′ 36″ W View all coordinates using: OpenStreetMap 35.780000; -87.460000. The caterpillar enclosed in my back doorway in the beginning of November last year, and it was getting cold so I brought it inside and kept it in a small butterfly enclosure so that it could develop, emerge, and be released on a warm day (I live in Tennessee, we have warm days occasionally all summer). The Chrysalis is light green with black splotches and spots and gold tubercles (spikes). The caterpillar was red black and white with spines and the butterfly is orange with black/brown spots. The butterfly is found in open habitats like alfalfa and clover fields, pastures, roadsides, and mountain meadows.
