I found these two eggsacs or possibly cocoons. I'm not sure what they belong too but I was curious.

well... how big are they? i'd say cocoons personally, but i vote keep em and see what emerges. i've seen similar cocoons from some really big lovely caterpillars turn into big lovely saturniid moths... but if it's smallish, than i'd doubt that. either way, looks like a great find.

The coccoons are about 2.5-3" long and 1-1.5" wide. I'm not sure about whats in them or not. I'll be sure to watch though.

Look forward to seeing what you find when this mystery invertebrate emerges.
