Can anyone ID this nest my student found?

Looks like some type of gall wasp to me, but I could be hopelessly wrong, easily.
For comparison:

Clearly a face hugger egg


I'm not any kind of expert at all but I would guess polyphemus moth cocoon?

polyphemus moth cocoon looks pretty dang close to me

YES!! That's it! I found the same thing just a second ago. Yay, I'm gonna print out some pictures and show the kids![DOUBLEPOST=1423677337,1423677329][/DOUBLEPOST]Thanks ^_^

To be fair, my second guess would've been moth, I swear

But yeah, definitely moth

What does it taste like?

Late to the party, but my first guess would've been moth, also.
Hole looks too small for entrance AND exit, was probably exit-only, and I've also raised more than a few cecropia/polyphemus moths in my youth.

I concur with facehugger egg.

Very, very small doomweasels.

With big, fluttery wings!

OMG, that's so adorable! I must put butterfly wings on doomweasels immediately!
