The material that the pupa was enclosed in was extremely tuff. I have collected it.

I have no idea when it emerged. It could have been months ago. It is very dead and worn now but maybe someone can identify it.

I keep my pupated caterpillar bottles on the kitchen windowsill where I can glance every morning to see if anything has emerged overnight.
