Saw these today. Yesterday there was a caterpillar in this spot. He looked ok to me though.

Could be cocoons of parasitoid wasps. Put several in a covered clear container and watch.

"How do these guys overwinter? In the cocoons?"

Depends upon species. Most overwinter within the host or in cocoons. A few overwinter as adults.
