It is making a chrysalis before my eyes in my kitchen today. Anyone know whether this is the last cycle of the year and the chrysalis will overwinter? My strong guess: yes. Also, if it is not overwintering, how long before the butterfly appears? Could not find the answers to these questions in my books or on the net, BTW.
