Thanks, Christine, for the interesting info. We originally thought the bugs in the shot had come out of it!

Super shot! The insects look like plant bugs (Miridae), poss. in the Genus Neurocolpus. They wouldn't have been hatched in this cocoon which looks like a moth cocoon. Many of the hairier caterpillars make their cocoons by pulling out their hairs! And this is what this looks like, though the long 'ropey' thing is puzzling. I can't say for sure who might have made the cocoon, except 'probably' a moth. The bugs may have been investigating.
