I don't think that's an insect pod, I think its some kind of fungus growing on the tree. The way to check, is to cut or break it loose and cut it open. It may be very firm, as the fungi I've seen like this become quite hard....almost like the wood itself. If hesitant to do this, wear gloves. I think it is this fungi:

If you look at the links above and agree this is what is on your tree, post back here. Good luck.

If no one here can identify it, you can send the picture to your local cooperative extension.
