I found this shot of a Silvery Checkerspot chrysalis just before emergence.  
Looks very similar.

Hello, all,
The attached photos are of a chrysalis/cocoon found in Springfield, TN on June 
3, 2012. It was on a peony in a family member's yard. 

It was bright, shiny silver and looked for the world like a Variegated 
Fritillary chrysalis, but the wings aren't right and it's too silvery. I don't 
think it is a Pearl or a Silvery because they are more brown, plus there's the 
webbing.


Does anyone know what it is? This is not a quiz!
