These are cocoons that came out from the cat. The cat has fallen off the leaf.What's the last picture? a bundle of cocoons residing inside a caterpillar body? the picture is abit too small.

Finally managed to breed the cat till pupation.
- Pupa inside the cocoon
- Just emerged. Notice part of the pupa case is outside the cocoon.
