I originally thought this was poop on grass :) Then I found 2 more in different plants. It's a white and brown capsule attached to arching grass.
Deergrass in the backyard.
The emerged wasp can be seen with the pupa at http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/114... This is either a species of Hyposoter or Campoletis.

Hi Metta, you have a great Ichneumon pupa spotting! Thank you for sharing.
I just got one in my Turi tree today :)
Ignacio, a wasp came out of mine yesterday :)
It does seem to be the same shape. Interesting that yours is dangling and attached to "threads".
I found something similar (http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/113...)... I'm not sure if is a cocoon or something else
