It's a very cool pendulum, Balan.  I have no idea about the id, but I like the tiny capsule and the sense that it's swinging slowly against that fine green background.  It does seem slightly soft.

Really cool Balan. I am going to guess it is a pupal case for a moth of some kind. Probably very small from the sounds of it.

I don't know what it is, Balan, but it's a gorgeous and unique image.
