Buckeyes! (The butterfly, not the nut)

The other day I found a Buckeye caterpillar crawling across a parking lot. (Buckeye caterpillars can be identified by their spines and the orange markings across their sides). I brought it home and it almost immediately began to hang in a J-form.




 The next day, it had chrysalised.

Bad picture focus ahoy!
The chrysalis will probably overwinter. I'll post when it does hatch.
