Stagmomantis carolina
It's hard to tell because its wedged between the wall and a downspout, is this another ootheca?

Oh cool! I couldn't tell from where it was at what the shape was. I'm happy to have so many mantids around!
I am suspecting that this is a Carolina Mantis ootheca. http://bugguide.net/node/view/4821
Brunner's Mantis ootheca look like this: http://bugguide.net/node/view/684633
Thank you! Maybe more Brunner's mantis for us? I found one of their ootheca in the spring then an actual mantis a couple weeks ago.
Yes, mantid ootheca
