From all the googling I've read, it should hang out there for the next week or two before the butterfly will emerge.
And for more large texas bugs, we have a huge moth hanging out on our front door.

Warning: Bug update
In the past week, the caterpillar has been hanging out, eating parsley and it molted once. Yesterday morning we found it hanging from a branch with silk thread. I spent all day checking on it expecting to see the chrysalis form. I even checked at midnight last night before I went to bed. It was still just a caterpillar hanging from a branch. Of course, overnight it transformed itself.
From all the googling I've read, it should hang out there for the next week or two before the butterfly will emerge.I The kids can't wait.
And for more large texas bugs, we have a huge moth hanging out on our front door.I'm still trying to figure out what kind of moth it is. I'm pretty sure it is an Io moth.

I believe you are right! The IO moth is one of the only moths that is just a beautiful as a butterfly. I have studied your moth, and I can see its 'eyes' on it wings, this in a sure teller that it is a IO. BUT then I am not a bugologist!!
