Here Is A Question,

carefully study the picture below,

 and ask yourself ,'what is it?', a carefully created piece of abstract jewellery perhaps?

or is it organic and an alien about to take over the world when it hatches? well it will hatch, it is the pupa of the Orange-spotted Tiger Clearwing butterfly, (Mechanitis polymnia),

and in case you are wondering this is what the butterfly from Mexico looks like when it hatches, but what a beautiful case it has when it undergoes metamorphoses.
