The chrysalis is of your big green caterpillar, they are known for burying themselves in the ground.
Your brown one is very interesting - it is an Owl butterfly caterpillar, Caligo eurilochus, which like to eat banana leavesHello @gertu, those are really nice caterpillars! The green one looks like it is a sphynx moth caterpillar, Erinnyis ello, see here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/6574 and here: https://bugguide.net/node/view/1460141

Wow, thank you very much for the information. I thought the chrysalis was monarch butterfly because of the color and it is from the green caterpillar.
The brown caterpillar must have come from my banana plant, lol, I didn't know that.
