They usually stay in the 'comma' position as in your last pic for one day with the sling intact 24hrs. During the night or early the next day, the skin will split behind it's head and it will wiggle and twist until it gets that skin completely off. Then the chrysalis will harden.
After that ....it's a crap shoot!! lol! Some emerge in 10 - 14 days, others will over winter as a chrysalis.
