Ootheca

Ootheca, egg mass of Praying Mantis.
This was laid on the glass window at my brother's house. Also found another similar one laid on the garden's wall.
Kind of strange as I would expect the Ootheca to be laid among the trees/plants/leafs/branches.

Small in size, around 1 cm length.

      Yea, looks weird.
      Usually, there could be hundreds of nymphs hatching from it, but this one is so small, probably in the tens, not hundreds for this one.       Posted 8 years ago
