Thank you ForestDragon for the ident .. Have joined the mission : )
I have no doubt that this is a Mantis ootheca (egg case)! The shape reminds me of something from Genus Tenodera.
This would be a neat addition to the Marvelous Mantids of the World mission: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1573...
