    Is that some kind of chrysalis? Is the camera pointing at the Sun?

    Oh yes, camera is pointing straight at the sky. Sometimes you can see nice clouds passing by, in this case it is the sun overhead.

    That structure at the right sure looks like something biological, though.

    Nope, just a weird artifact of the interplay between strong sunlight and the camera lens. See ASG0005xxy and ASG0005tnm for some other examples.
