We found this in March and brought it home to keep an eye on it, hoping something cool would emerge from it. (Or something terrifying!? Who knows?)
My strong theory was that is was a moth coccoon.
Well, it's may now, and I am sad to report that nothing happened.
So today, I let the boys tear into it to see what they would discover.
It's pretty fun to watch them :)
Here's a close up of what was left on the inside. If you look closely, you can see what looks like the head of a caterpillar and its tiny legs.
Sorry you didn't make it, little buddy!
This led us to some research;

(The bottom video shows a much more gentle dissection than we were able to accomplish over here!)
What might have been....
