Io Moth Chrysalis
Automeris io (pupa)
The Io moth chrysalis rests inside a thin, papery cocoon among leaf litter or attached to vegetation. It does not feed or travel during this stage, relying on its protective casing while the adult body develops. The pupa can survive seasonal cold and remains still until conditions are suitable for the moth to emerge.
