Have any of you seen this before? I found it on my outdoor plant. I've had plenty of bugs both good and bad over the years. I just recently found some spider mites in one of my plants so I kept my chill and removed those leafs. I moved the fan cause it was blowing Ruth at that plant. And finally I sprayed water with alcohol to kill any left. Naturally I extended the prevention to the other plants and none have any signs of spider mites. Very happy I go to spray the outdoor sativa and I find this in one of tre lower branches. When I removed it with a stick there was like little eggs inside the "cotton". I'm i tripping? Is this common?

Would be some neatly organized spider mites! You said eggs inside so not a caterpillar. Which part of the world you're at? Any children eating spiders near by?
 
Looks kind of like a catapiler or caseing of one to me.lol......or a fribble? Remember Harry Mudd?

I'm sure uou must have a micrascope that you use to look at your trich's...
Chop that thing in slices.
and take a look at it through your scope
 
thats a wonderfull idea.... i wish i did that, i grabed a wooden stick and i scrape it and when i saw little white eggs quarantine it inside a plastic bottle and threw it out the trash. :( hahaha thinking back i did panicked, ive never seen anything like this, i couldnt find it in GWE or in jorge cervantes 2015 encyclopedia
 
I haven't seen something quite like that before, but I have seen eggs laid on the leaves in a similar way. If it were me I'd go with something that kills a lot of bugs as well as mold/fungus, like neem oil. It's safe for humans and animals, and can be used right up until near harvest.

One of the things that's really tough about diagnosing bugs is there's hundreds of species, and also a lot of even the same species look different depending on your local environment and where you are in the world. One thing I've learned can be really helpful if you can't actually spot the bug in the act, and if something full spectrum doesn't work, is check out your local garden center and as if they know anything about fuzzy eggs laying on the undersides of leaves, because they'll be most familiar with your local pests.

If it's a critter like caterpillars, sometimes floating row covers can be a barrier to put on your plants between them and pests. If you do think caterpillars are possible culprits, than Caterpillar "BT" Spray is usually really effective, and it's another one that won't hurt your plants or people/pets.
 
That's what I think!! @9fingerleaves I had one exactly like that on my ornamental grass outside, and finally all the babies left and it was just an empty sac that fell off. Spiders are the good guys and get rid of the other pests!!!!!
 
Thank you all guys. If I find another one I'll experiment and observe much more and take a lot of pics. I usually only let live those big green spiders that eat scales and leafhoppers but I don't want hundreds of little spiders nesting in my plant so all is well. Again thank you family I'm now at ease
 
Dude I know normal world bugs, can't help with jungle bugs! You asked the locals? Not showing the leaf might be tricky...
 
Spiders don't "nest"!! They spin webs and eat all the bad critters. I love spiders, used to raise tarantulas...
