Hi,
Perhaps someone can help me. I found this huge cocoon on the ground in my back yard. The size is about 2" long and 1 inch" across. It is made of Elm leaves and some type of spun fibre. It was opened on both ends. Inside was some brown matter, maybe exoskeleton or shell, with 2 opened little white eggs. I have never seen anything like this before.....
Thanks!
