Can you tell us more about it? How did you come to find it? Do you have a garden that contains host plants for that type of butterfly? When did you find it? Or did you raise the larva until it transformed into the pupa? The picture would be ten times more interesting if there were a story behind it. Will it over winter? Will you put it outdoors somewhere to pass the winter? Is it the first you've ever found? Or are these common where you live? Where do you live? Not your address, of course, but what state or climate?

Martha, I totally agree!! Otherwise, it's just a nice photo!
