egg case or pupa

egg case or pupa
Council Bluffs, Pottawattomie County, Iowa, USA
December 31, 1969
Size: 2.3 cm/1 cm/.8 cm
Found on the back side of an old rake leaning against the south side of a building. No large hole in either end, but some damage to top and one side. Seems to be columns of crusty material rather than silk in composition. Somewhat papery.

Just wanted to say...
I am glad you posted these images. I used to see thing like this a long time ago and wondered what they were. I no longer live in the country and haven't seen any in my new location...

Good luck getting an answer!
