    It took a while, but I have an answer:
    It is the egg and larval sack of the Glyphotaelius pellucidus.
    Here is a link to where I found it, you won’t be able to read the text; however, if you scroll down the page you can see more pics.

    The insect is mostly nocturnal. On some pages it is called a “night butterfly” and other pages,
    Simply a “moth”.

    Whatever it is, technically speaking…its gelatinous glob that acts as a suspension medium for eggs and larvae is quite interesting to me.
