I'm new to the forum, so while tried to search for this topic in here already I didn't see it. Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else.
I just found one monarch butterfly caterpillar nearly a week ago, and I decided, for the first time in many years, to keep it until it changed to a butterfly. I put it in a container with holes and took it home with me. Within a day it had turned into a chrysalis. Since then, I've been waiting for it to come out. I left it on my window sill, and when I woke up today it had turned from perfect green to a sort of brown and black. I don't think it was due to sun, because my window doesn't face the sun and it was cloudy today anyways. Is my butterfly going to be ok?
Here are a couple pictures I took. Sorry for the quality (not the greatest camera ever), but you can see the colour changes that have taken place.

Anything you could tell me would be very much appreciated.
