Left an umbrella out to dry, found what looks like cocoon
on it, would that risk infesting my house if I bring it in.
If i left it in a bag with mothballs, first?

Reason am overreacting is neighbor had meal moths from food
infest his house a few years ago, and had to throw a lot of stuff out.

Assuming the cocoon is empty there is no risk or need for mothballs.

Assuming it's not empty, why not just scrape it off while the umbrella
is outside. If you do it right, the cocoon won't get hurt and the
moth inside will fly away when he's ready, like the original plan was.
It takes days for a cocoon to finish its work, and the cocoon is not
going to open before your very eyes unless you are quite lucky. Even
then, you'll have time to take the umbrella outside, and in an hour or
two or less, the moth will be out and away.

Seriously? Who in the hell gives a damn if the cocoon is hurt?

YES YES and YES.

You'd have flying racoons with umbrellas landing all over the house.

This would occur on October 31, just before midnight. Most of them would
be in costume, such as Dracula, ghosts, werewolves, skeletons, spiders
Ronald McDonald, squash and pumpkins!

Are you scared yet?

You SHOULD BE!!!!
This is only a couple days from now...........
