There's a second cocoon in this spot now where I saw a Hairy Mary caterpillar the other day. I have taken one into captivity to see what comes out of it. 28 March: Noticed some maggots in the bottom of enclosure, despite fine mesh, so cut open cocoon and have added a photo.

Hope it is not a spider's egg nest.

OK not a spider's nest. But the caterpillar remains are not hairy, so I think it is not an Anthela sp.
