Praying Mantis egg case?

Post by eastwood2007 »

I found this attached to my greenhouse...

Is it a praying mantis egg case?

If not, it is history! :o

I don't think so. I think they lay flat on a surface and have definate rib type texture (like the underside of a mushroom head). Here is a link to photos:
