Tendora sinensis
A wrinkly bag (egg sac) fastened firmly to the White Spruce tree we had installed near our bird feeder for protection for our birds while they are at the feeder in the winter.
My brother grew it on his farm and installed it for us.
Not sure I chose the right mission, tell me if I am wrong.

Thank you Tomato Glasgow!
Thank You Subhojit
Thank You Forest. Did you ever see the one I took in Croatia in September. I was never sure of it's identification.
Neat find, Alice! This looks like a Chinese Mantid (Tenodera sinensis) Ootheca to me. Here are some reference pictures:
