This was a just formed pupa of a moth found on the underside of a leaf. It has not yet darkened into it's final color. It has used the long gold hairs of the larval stage to weave a loose basket around itself. The shrunken larval skin is visible in the last picture to the upper left of the pupa.
Forest of the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve, area around the Bat Cave about 10 minutes east of Puerta Calakmul.
