Geranium Bronze Chrysalis
Cacyreus marshalli (pupa)
The chrysalis forms on a sheltered part of the host plant after the caterpillar has finished feeding. It remains fixed and motionless while its tissues reorganize into the adult butterfly. Its compact, hardened pupal case offers protection during this vulnerable stage.
