was out the other day with the fire marshall walking around the property <our annual inspection> and we happened upon this, both threw up our hands..no clue what it is, beside a cocoon.

I'll throw one out just to get this started - Puss Moth, but probably not hairy enugh.

Kind of looks like the Praying mantis egg cases DH and son found while cutting grasses for duck blind. Look it up here https://www.google.com/search?q=pra...nLejUyQHkkYCoCg&ved=0CFEQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=612

Definitely not preying mantis. They look like brown, dry spit and are asymmetrical.
I once opened one like the one shown. Seems there was a worm like larvae.

after talking with some other people this is the best we can come up with..
it a garden spider egg sack.

so there we go, a friendly spider

That is exactly what I was going to say a "zig zag" spider sac. ( that isn't their real name, but what I call them b/c of the zig zag pattern they make in their webs.

we call them zipper spiders, they do have a unique web..
