Description
The image displays a chrysalis, which is the pupal stage of a butterfly. The metadata identifies it as Pachliopta dampierensis, a species of swallowtail butterfly (specifically, a subspecies of Pachliopta aristolochiae). As an ethnobotanist, I must clarify that this is an insect, not a plant, and therefore does not possess botanical or medicinal plant properties.
