@donhe a very well camouflaged cocoon! It's situated almost vertical in the middle of the first photo and in the second it's at 45 degrees in the direction of this slash: /
. There is a large hole in the left side and a smaller one at the top. The cocoon is a slightly different colour particularly at the top - more orange than the surrounding grey bark.
