Megachilidae
Cut, round leaves assembled inside a long, hollow, bamboo stick. The first image shows the end is totally plugged with leaves. There was a bee at the other end that's shown in the second photo but the flash caused a dark shadow on the bee. I cropped and lightened as much as possible on the last image to show the stripes on the abdomen.

Yes I can see it now in the last pic
I added a third image which I cropped and lightened to show the striped abdomen of the bee.
it looks like a dried bamboo shoot with a leaf shoved in it.
