Your letter to the bugman: My step daughter found this at her house. She said the tenant is black and white and sluggish looking. But it hides inside when she tries to get a pic.

Dear Curious,
This looks to us like the dried tip of a pine branch containing pine flowers. See Friends of the Wild Flower Garden for some images of fresh pine flowers.
