A row of vivid lime-green chrysalises of the Pink Cattle Heart butterfly (Parides iphidamas) hang suspended from a dark textured surface. A white identification label above reads “Parides iphidamas — Pink Cattle Heart.” Some chrysalises have white fibrous remnants at their tops. The background is soft grey.

A new beginning awaits 🦋
