Butterfly Pupa Cocoon 

Look like the larva has made a safe nest below this colourful leave. The light transparent creamy structure matched the larva shape. But, where is the butterfly ? 
Would the colour of the butterfly match this colour? 
I don't think so.

I did not see any butterfly of this colour but I saw one blackish butterfly lying around the leave. But the size did not match the cocoon size! Probably, the moment the butterfly came out, it experienced "big bang", sudden expansion of size!

The theory of the how butterfly colour comes about mentioned in one of the U-tube shows is not correct.
