Actinote sp.
Actinote is a genus of butterflies from South America of the subfamily Heliconiinae in the family Nymphalidae.
The hole in this cocoon reveals that it was attacked by a predator.

Thank you very much, Keith. Together with the images of the caterpillar and the butterfly, it is possible to have a good idea of its development.
