Here's my beautiful chrysalis!

Here's the resulting butterfly! No matter what I did it would not open its wings so I could get a picture, but you can sort of see the orange-red colors through the wings.

Try as I might, I can't find a picture that tells me what this is. I don't have a good butterfly book and am relying on searching the net. I know you experienced experts can tell me what to look for! I appreciate all the help. I'm trying to learn - I promise!

I just witnessed a strange thing outside. There was a pair of polydamas swallowtails in a mating embrace, and the larger female was trying to lay eggs on the host plant with the male still attached. I could actually see about three yellow eggs emerge between her and the male. She flew to a different area and I lost sight of them. Has anyone ever seen something like that??
