mystery cloudforest cocoon

[Peter Hibbs]

I found this in the cloudforest in Ecuador a few years ago and have
wondered since then, what could have made this?! I found it among other
miscellany in my basement recently and felt compelled to ask the taxacom
listserv, anyone know what this is, who created it?
