Under eucalyptus bark. Orange silk woven together like a sponge, empty pupa case inside. I wasn't able to keep them in one piece. 2nd photo shows portion of abdominal segments, 3rd photo shows portion of forelegs and part of labial palps. Empty cocoon taken over by beetles, stout sac spider and others.
