The two chrysalises in the left photo are monarch butterfly chrysalises. In the center photo and photo on the right, I believe are chrysalises of black swallow tail butterflies.
Apparently the chrysalis of the black swallow tail can be green or brown, with the over wintering pupae always being brown.
