Pictures of some of the more common chrysalises can be found in most identification guides to butterflies, but I'm afraid I don't know of a good book for the rarer ones.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624194722106155800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529657187251569190.post-68121339354961623262010-04-29T17:25:56.919+01:002010-04-29T17:25:56.919+01:00Do you know which type of butterfly this will beco...Do you know which type of butterfly this will become, my son found one of these and is eager to know what is inside!

The length of ti...Hi Adrian, welcome to the blog. <br /><br />The length of time that large white butterflies spend as a chrysalis depends on when the egg was laid. If it's laid late in the summer then they stay in chrysalis form all winter. If, as with this one, the egg was laid early in the year (around May) then they stay in the chrysalis only for a few weeks and emerge as an adult later in the summer. The small white and green-veined white behave in a similar manner.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13624194722106155800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1529657187251569190.post-21466444419973496742009-07-10T08:09:13.000+01:002009-07-10T08:09:13.000+01:00You are a veritable mine of information, I, in my ...You are a veritable mine of information, I, in my ignorance thought they took a year!
