Saw that thing on the cord of our Iron last night, first i just thought it was just a ball of dirt but I remembered the  post I read on the internet it was some kind of Venomous Caterpillar, it was a Puss Caterpillar (larva) it gives itchy burning sensation feeling when the hair sting on your skin, so don't be deceived on what it's look like never ever touch that hairy thing. Our farm is near the woods it might flown from the air and crawl from our roof going down in our room and goes to our things glad i found it and never goes on our bed.
