Tenodera sinensis sinensis
Tan colored, foamy looking egg case. Light weight with a firm texture. Potentially hundreds of baby mantids can hatch from these. The Chinese Mantis is an introduced species that has done very well in North America. They are a fairly large mantis and will catch and eat a large variety of arthropods and occasionally small vertebrates.
