User's notes

Any ideas? Sitting on some grass, between grasses. Is it likely to be a cocoon of some sort, for maybe a butterfly of some type? It's maybe 1 week old Thanks in advance Or More likely to be some type of young wasps nest? It's small, maybe 3cm long & 2cm wide. (It is not a feed / water station, but, was forced to select one)
