    Hi Lisa, to me it looks somewhat like the cocoon/pupa of some small leaf mining micro moth. Bucculatrix spp (Bucculatricidae) have similar looking cocoons, but there may well be others (or even other families?) as well? Posted 4 years ago

      Oh! Thank you! I will look in that direction! It was absolutely tiny (barely noticed it), so that might be a better match. Posted 4 years ago
