Mantis religiosa
A tan and white hard crust
inside a burned out hollow log
These start out really frothy and then harden as they dry. When the eggs have hatched, it will look like a zipper down the center (with emergence holes and egg material poking out).
I brought one of these indoors last fall & last week had about 100 tiny mantids emerge from it!
Please can you move this to the arthropods category. Thanks!
