Identification of cocoon, please
« on: October 06, 2015, 05:28:05 PM »
When we came here (Halkidiki, northern Greece) last week, we discovered these two slipper-like cocoons on the wall, the insects must have left, but does anybody know what they could be? The cocoons are woolly, around 3 - 3.5 cm wide and 6 - 6.5 cm tall, rather flat on the front.
