I found this cocoon very interesting in more than one way. First of all, it was attached to a board on the ground next to a small wooden house we recently constructed. The roof of house extends out from the walls about 50cm, so it was more or less protected from any possible rain. I have no idea what material was used to build the cocoon. It looks very much like fiberglass filaments. After taking the first photograph (lower image) I lifted the cocoon from the board. It was empty. Whoever had occupied the neat little womb, had left. In the top image, the space inside.

I have really enjoyed looking at your blog. My family and I have lived in Belem for 2 years. I was looking for names of some of the flowers in our yard when I came across you blog.
I have a question. Do you have a good website or book for finding the names of plants and flowers from this region? We have so many in our yard that we can't find names for. I have asked a few Brazilians and few of them know the names of flowers.
Thanks for the blog we will be reading it often.

One of Lorenzi's books. There are others on trees, flowers, plants, etc. Google him. Sao Paulo, I think. Most of his books are available in English too.
Our younger son lives in Belem. My wife's family lives there too.
Cheers.
