What is this leaf cocooned worm doing on my wall?

I just found what I thought was a dried small grayish leaf on my wall. It wasn't surprising because there is a bouquet of dried flowers nearby. It was about 2/3's an inch long, 1/3 inch wide and tapered at both ends. It was a bit spotty in color. As I was looking at it, it started to crawl slowly, and then I noticed a little brown wormy thing sticking it's head out of one end. Not a gross wet worm but more like a catepillar or centipede, withc visible segments. I scooped it up and turns out it can stick it's head out of either end. Almost cute, yet creepy, so I threw it into the garden. What the heck is this?

It's a cocoon that would eventually turn into a moth or butterfly, but probably a moth.
