Campopleginae
Charley you are just too fast for me. After Bob gave me his info I had found several similar to this one and was about to move it. I am so glad to know what it is. Do all Ichneuman wasp do this or just some? Thanks for moving it.

Just campoplegines
One of many subfamilies of ichneumonids. Most other ichneumonids form cocoons within their hosts, or at least within their hosts' cocoons, and as far as I know none have fancy patterns like this. I think that many different campoplegines make cocoons with a pattern reminiscent of this one, but only a few suspend them from a string like this. Bob Carlson may be able to say something more specific about it.

Wasp Pupa Cocoon, probably Ichneumon
See the page on
Parasites, Predators and Parasitoids
at MPG. There is no doubt equivalent and even better material to be found here at BugGuide.

Wasp Pupa Cocoon
Thanks Bob for the info. I have always wondered just what this photo was. I thought it was so unique and interesting. I will have to do some searching and see if I can find which wasp it is. Thanks again.
