Looks like a cicada cocoon.

i dont know the purpose of that horn like thing, some species don't have that. like yours.
I have looked at pictures of hawk-moth cocoon and they have a strange horn like thing coming out of the head area. What is that, and why does this cocoon not have it? Thanks.
a hawk-moth cocoon (Sphingidae)
