Butterfly pupa (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chrysalis

'butterfly pupa' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for chrysalis that I've seen before include "Old record company" , "Stage of a butterfly's development" , "developmental stage" , "Pupa of an insect such as a butterfly" , "Pre-butterfly stage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the Evening Standard.
