I found what I guessed were a few cocoons attached to a pipe for my pond filter. This pipe is in the middle of the pond and is out of the water. There were 4 of them on there. So when I looked closer, they looked so creepy that I took one off and tried to find some info about. I haven't found anything that looks like it. At this point, I'm not even sure if it is actually a cocoon. I have more pics, if it will help. Any ideas?
