Any idea what this shed skin belonged to ?
hanging on a fence panel, about 9mm long.

Evening Brian,
I wouldn't mind betting it's the pupal case of a Pterophoridae moth.
Take care, Jason  |

I had a bug nymph with lots of spikes, and I got the adult which was Phytocoris tiliae. Can't say if that's the one though!

As a total coincidence ? guess what I found the next day about 2 feet away on the fence ?

Wow, it certainly does fit Emmelina monodactyla!
That was an education, I couldn't see any legs but it did look to have some sort of antennae casing which I wouldn't expect from a moth cocoon. Maybe it's where it broke out.

Yes, is E. monodactyla indeed - likely the same species as the one that came from your skin. |
