That is a Gulf Fritillary Caterpillar. They are almost exclusively found on passion vine. The butterflies are a rusty color with silver spots below the wings.
Yeah, they look more like fritillary cats to me (definitely not painted ladies.) what plant are they on? That will help clear up what they are.
Edit: the chrysalis looks fritillary to me too.
Edit2: painted ladies and cousins that are also safe to feed tend to be on mallow (hollyhock and wild types like cheese mallow) and plantain (not the banana type fruit tree but the yard weeds.)
Not a good feeder for the chameleons (supposedly toxic, but one might not hurt. I wouldnt risk it though.) You can release them, but I dont know which stage overwinters/how cold of temps the adults can handle.
