Could be the same...they are both at nearly the same elevation. You can notice at the bottom of my foto that there is an exit/entrance....
It is actually not the cocoon, but the "home" of this caterpillar out of the family of Psychidae. Might be the same one as mine??? Oiketicus kirbyi?? http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominikhofer/4414317353/in/set-72157622855867440 http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominikhofer/4414321167/in/set-72157622855867440 http://www.flickr.com/photos/dominikhofer/4415094342/in/set-72157622855867440
