Wildlife Spotting

This interesting item is a mantis ootheca (egg case). You can often tell which species by the shape of the egg case. I am not as familiar with mantids in your area, but now you should have somewhere to begin a search! I have moved this to the Arthropods section for you. :-) Please consider adding this to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/15738247
