I think swallowtail chrysalis are supposed to be brown. I overwintered one in my storage closet on the back porch last winter and one day it came crawling out as a butterfly! I also garden for wildlife, plant only natives, had the garden certified a monarch waystation, though I plant for as many different species as possible. This year I am trying to learn more about the pollinators, though the honey bees absolutely LOVED the mountain mint in the driveway. We pulled up chairs to watch them for days. It was wonderful. Nice to "meet" you all fellow crazy bug lovers. :)
