Web/Nest structure or Eggsac?
10.7308, 122.541
Field Notes
Description:
I'm not sure what it's made of, web or silk? Symmetrical, I have no idea what animal made this structure and for what purpose, shelter or egg sac? I initially thought it was a spider nest but upon researching and observing, it couldn't possible be any spider nest as it is too symmetrical. It could also be some sort of a caterpillar cocoon or nest? After spotting it, I didn't bother checking back or observing any longer so my chances of finding out what it was is gone.
Habitat:
Found underneath a banana leaf from my garden.
Notes:
John B. had a really interesting theory that this could be a species of Banana skipper larvae that had not cut out the banana leaf and for some reason not decided to complete its cocoon. I'll keep this in mind and I'm on the lookout for some of these structures on my banana plants.
