The cocoon, now empty, which had housed and sheltered my brother's butterflies. I thought it would have a silkier texture, not chicharon-bulaklak-crisp like this...

Hahaha, sorry about that, simon! It was the first thing that popped into my head when I was inspecting the empty cocoon. It was so paper-thin and crisp-looking, you see. ;-) No chicharon bulaklak in Melbourne? Not even in the Pinoy or Asian stores?
roosje, I'd also love to find cocoons in their natural habitat. I found this page that gives an idea on where to look. And this website explains how you can set up your own garden as a preferred cocoon spot. Happy hunting!
