Automeris illustris
It is found in South America, including Paraguay, Brazil and Argentina.I found this specimen in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
This is a Cocoon of "Moth Eye-of-Ox" ("Automeris illustris"). Look a Saturniid Caterpillar of same specie: [ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/239... ] And a Adult MOth: [ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/414... ]
