Common Five-ring Chrysalis
Ypthima baldus (pupa)
The chrysalis is suspended close to the ground among grass stems and dry vegetation. It does not feed or travel during this stage, relying on its casing for protection while transformation occurs inside. Its muted coloration helps it resemble a small piece of dried plant matter.
