I agree that they look like Mantid egg cases (called oothecae), more specifically, they look like Chinese Mantid, Tenodera aridifolia, egg cases: http://bugguide.net/node/view/505680/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/493501/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/349161/bgimage See what you think.
