Chrysalis
The Chrysalis is a secretive underground movement of SilkWings who were planning to overthrow Queen Wasp. They appear to be similar to the Talons of Peace, as they are both little-known covert organizations (although this is no longer true for the Talons of Peace). They cannot include HiveWings because of Queen Wasp's mind-control, and as most of them seem to believe that LeafWings are extinct, the Chrysalis seems to exclusively be made up of SilkWings. There is a Chrysalis group in each hive, although according to Swordtail there may not be one in Wasp Hive . It appears that six or seven SilkWings is the average number of members per hive, although Bloodworm Hive's group may have more members. They identify themselves to other members using the phrase "the seeds will grow again", which could be a reference to the flamesilks being freed or trees growing again.
In the Metamorphosis chamber, many of the silk tapestries contain small, hidden red symbols shaped like teardrops, which Blue calls "leafdrops". These symbols may be related to the Chrysalis.
The Chrysalis was first mentioned in The Lost Continent, and later had a bigger role in The Hive Queen.
