How big is a swallowtail butterflys chrysalis?

Answer:

We have one right now and it measures about 1 1/2 inches long and about 1/3 in thickness. We are still waiting for it to emerge. Its been in its chrysalis for 8 days. It has a light and dark brown woody look to it and hangs by a thin single thread it has wrapped around a stick. It also has itself attached to the stick with the disposed guts it pooped out.
