Pupa (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chrysalis

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">pupa</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(chrysalis is a kind of pupa)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for chrysalis that I've seen before include "Dormant insect pupa" , "Old record company" , "insect developing" , "Pre-butterfly stage" , "Stage of a butterfly's development" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Times.
