During quarantine I've been very busy in my garden. Because if this, I'm now raising ladybug larvae because I found their eggs in a rose I was trimming. But, now I've found this cocoon on a dying bush. I'm not sure it's viable or beneficial. I don't see any exit holes. I'd love to know what kind of creature is inside. I live near Sacramento, CA.
Thank you!

I believe it is a praying mantis egg case.
This indeed looks like a Praying Mantis Egg sac. Often praying are sought after for there nest to be sold to collectors. Here is some info on this sought after insect - www.gardenmyths.com/
My 2 guesses)
(1). A Hummingbird Mouth
(2) Cream colored Caterpillar/ASP
Definitely does not look like praying mantis egg sac; Ive seen those and also it doesnt look like them when you google praying mantis egg sac:
I was hoping to find the answer to your question because I seem to have the same sac on my wood fence.. I live in Indiana.
