What is this?! Weird green cocoon

Help! Any clever MNers able to identify the mini dragon/shrimp crossover I found in DS bed please?

Looks to be some kind of chrysalis, but I can find nothing that looks vaguely like it on google & would very much like to know what it is - house has been unoccupied for over a decade and we've had all sorts of insect swarms over the summer (ladybirds, woodlice, lace wings etc) but none seem to match this. Hoping it's not anything too worrying!

Erm... could it be anything that your son has ‘picked’? 🙈

Is it definitely a chrysalis? Or could it be the head of a grass for example?

MerryTwinkletoes · 04/01/2020 17:21

It has eyes so unfortunately I'm pretty sure it is/was a living thing!

Oh!
Then maybe some kind of cricket/grasshopper? Sorry I can’t be of more help

The nearest I could find was a green veined white butterfly , but it should be protected somewhere.
