These were found in Georgia. They're were four of them rolled up inside of a mud case. Sorry for the slightly blurry pic. The following is the finders comments:

This afternoon, while spraying my Camellias, I saw this little clump sitting on one of the limbs . .thinking it was a seed, I picked it up. Well, as I picked it up it started crumbling in my hand! It was a cocoon made of mud - sorta like the one dirtdobbers make.

I then started handling it very carefully because I could see something green inside. I took it to the porch to finish crumbling it -

Has anyone ever seen anything like this? Does anyone know what this is??? In all my years of gardening, it's the FIRST time I've seen it!
