I’m in Greensboro, NC awaiting the birth of my first grandchild, and visiting my car which I lent to my daughter. When I opened the trunk, I spotted [this cocoony/nest](http://s150.photobucket.com/albums/s92/kittenblue/Questionable%20Objects/) type thingy. A Google search has been futile. Anyone have any ideas what it might be home to? One of the pictures includes my finger for a size comparison. ---
