It looks like it came from some form of pest, but there are no obvious holes or material above it. It's between glass and a screen with no obvious openings or holes. None of my other windows have it. We did have the house re-insulated recently, but I don't think it looked like this. Any help identifying what's going on?

I'm geographically located in Northern NJ I'm the US in the suburbs.

My guess is a carpenter bee, and there is a hole somewhere you didn't notice

Or a very shitty carpenter gone rogue

Wait, are bees able to spec into rogue?

Depends on which ruleset you follow
