Thank you EarlyStages for the ID and the links!

Ah yes, the remarkable bat-like chrysalis of Vindula dejone – one of my favorites. Here's an interesting example from Singapore ("Actual color, stood out like a sore thumb against the deep green leaf.") . . .

@ Ashish: I am not sure about this one. I hope other PN members can help us ID this
@ KarenL: Interesting indeed. Thanks.

Is this a Caterpillar or incomplete Pupa...?

Very interesting!

Thanks again shekainah!

I'm sure the silver dots are normal, actually the pupa of some lacewings butterflies is metallic gold . I think this pupa belongs to a Fritilliary species, most probably.

Thanks Jolly for the suggestion

You can get it and put it in a screened container until it emerges so we will know what species it is. Document it in pictures and then release it.

Thanks Leana and shekainah for your inputs. How about the presence of 2 silver dots? Is that normal?

I agree, it is a pupa of butterfly that belongs to a Nymphalidae family.

Noel, I think this is a pupating caterpillar that unfortunately fell prey to some predator...

The jury is still out on this one... Thanks Leana!

Awesome find Noel! I wonder what this is...
