What is in this cocoon?

So I was looking around my pond when I spotted this cocoon on my optunia plant. It's been moving and I want to know what's in it. If you have a clue please respond. I posted a pic below check it out

Looks like a spider's nest to me.

Jumping spider. They are really cool. They sneak up and jump their prey like a big cat, instead of leaving webs to trap them. I sit and watch them for hours. Yours looks quite different than the ones we have here. Neat.

Yah it's pretty cool I released it right after this picture but I was lucky enough to watch it hatch from the cocoon.

I don't think it hatched from the cocoon. I think that web was the "hide" it retreats into. I see some like that here.
