Looks like...
It might be the pupa of a Geometrid moth. I'm assuming that you did not see it crawling around.
(maybe) Cyclophora packardi: Packard's Wave

looks like a good ID
Yeah, it seemed pretty secured to the leaf when I saw it... definitely wasn't crawling around. I usually try to do a better job at getting a side view but didn't this time I guess. Other photo shows more webbing:https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/948019744
