This looks a lot like a morning cloak butterfly chrysalis. My kids and I found a caterpillar and put it in a container to watch for a day. It turned into a chrysalis that looks like your picture. Check out the link below for more info or search morning cloak butterfly. http://www.naturemuseum.org/online/thebutterflylab/fieldguide/native.html#mourningcloak
