Thanks Yogesh. You are the plant expert :)
If the plant is miniature orange plant then that is "Calamondin Orange"
sci. name :Citrofortunella microcarpa
Even I doubt it to be Swallowtail pupa.
May be Swallowtail type butterfly's pupa.
Check.. if find similar..

Thanks Ashish. It was a bonsai orange plant. Maybe Citris Mitis Calamondin, not sure.
Nice Pupa..
Do you know Binomial ID of plant..?
