It was Mrs Ashby, our one-time housekeeper, and her daughter. They were clutching a big tupperware box containing two bananas.
One one of the bananas was this. "What is it?" they asked. Well, to my eyes it seems like a cocoon of come sort, containing a chestnut brown chrysalis.
However, what or whom will hatch from said chrysalis, I have no ideas. Over to you folks....















In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

Can't give you and ID on this, but have seen similar a couple of years agon also from Bananas. And what emerged was a Burnet type moth, only unlike the British Burnet moth it was black with white spots and a white ring around the abdomen.
Not mush different to this one
