This is a tussock moth. The loose cocoon with eggs is typical. The female is wingless. I have bred them out before. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7890973 and http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7993881

What a strange creature. Cool pictures!

I don't know what type of bug is it. But the mom is very hairy and the nest as well.
