Nymphalidae, Acraea violae. http://www.butterflycircle.com/checklist/mugshots/Acraea%20violae/earlystages/pupa/Tawny_Coster_pupa_01.jpg https://www.flickr.com/photos/somnathpaldas2/5515907621/ Here the whole story: https://www.flickr.com/photos/somnathpaldas2/sets/72157626240789530/with/5515907621/ Just for your understanding: Butterfly and Moth metamorphosal stages are often called pupa or pupae. The butterfly pupa is called chrysalis and the moth pupa is called a cocoon. So yours is actually a chrysalis.
