Peanut shaped, fuzzy. Found on a downed tree.
Downed tree
Thank you! It does feel like something is loose inside.
Might be a moth cocoon. Is it like a fuzzy 'bag' with a loose object inside?Be careful handling fuzzy moth cocoons, because some caterpillars have irritant hairs, and weave them into the cocoon when they pupate.
