Oh Deena - I love the bluebird pictures!
Can I take a guess? Is it a wasp nest?
Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Oh oh... wait a minute... how many guesses do I get? I take that first one back. I just realized there were pieces of leaf in the mix.
Wasps don't normally use leaves in their nest making.
When I see leaves in the mix, that usually says moth cocoon. A Luna perhaps! How awesome! I hope you get to keep an eye on it to see it spring forth!
Ryan..you're half right.
A butterfly cocoon then? Oh the suspense is killing me!
Well, judging by the size of it as compared to the leaves I am thinking one of the bigger moths. A giant silkworm moth.
A luna is a silk moth, but it could be one of the others. The white, puffiness of the cocoon gives it away. The only other one I know is a Promethea.
The people who commented before me are much more knowledgable than me. I was going to say a cocoon but I don't know what kind. Your birds are beautiful and so are your turkey ladies.
I thought cocoon, but in terms of what kind, I am clueless. :c) Oh, the beauty of your bluebirds Deena! Have a beautiful day ahead.
Butterfly Cocoon!? Love the bluebird pictures!!!
Have a beautiful day!!

Dear Snow White.....whoops...I mean Deena.....
Could it possibly be some sort of Gall??
Love the bird photographs, especially your friendly turkey......
You have some lovely photos here Deena and your Bluebird is stunning such a vibrant blue.
I think your mystery picture may be a Polyphemus Moth Cocoon, I confess I have never heard of it before but did some 'Googling', of course I could be totally wrong!
I've seen these in my yard before and had no idea what they were. My guess after doing some research is a Luna Moth cocoon. Love your bird photos! :0)
Wait...How about a chinese mantis egg case? That's more what the ones in my yard look like! I love learning new things! :0)
You will probably think I'm mad Deena, but blame my husband! He thinks it could be a Humming Bird nest.
TERRY
you are correct..it is a Chinese Mantis cocoon.
& CHERYL it does look like a gall..
Congrats Terry..
email me you addee and I'll send ya something
fun!!
Deena
