Geometridae
Where there's poo, there's wildlife : ) This plant has clusters of heavily perfumed white flowers when mature, not sure of the name. The caterpillar? cleverly blends in with the stems of the plant to avoid detection

Thanks for the i.d bayucca
Geometridae moth caterpillar, I would say
Did'nt see the pupa Leuba, will go back outside in a mo and see if I can get a better photo. I've just had a quick look through the Jasminoides group but did'nt spot this plant. Will do a little more research. Do you know the ident?
Well said, Viv !! - great spotting ! - you seem to have also captured a tiny pupa under the ? waxy covering on one of the leaves in pic #2.
I wonder if the plant is one of jasmininoides species?
