Trilobite? - Stagmomantis carolina
Cumming/Gainesville, Northeast of Atlanta County, Georgia, USA
October 19, 2018
Size: 3/4 to 1” long
I just came out to sit on my back deck to enjoy the cool evening, looked down on my deck floor, and saw this. Is this a trilobite? It is obviously dead.

question?
Have the nymph hatched from this case yet? If not, where should I be re-locating it vs. where I found it right in the middle of the deck floor where my dogs hang out?

Emerged
The nymphs have emerged through that zipper-like structure on the top of the ootheca.

Ohhh!
Now it makes sense! On Sep. 21, I took a few pics of a praying mantis that was on our window on deck side. SHE was looking in, it was so cool. I'll try and add the pic to the above ones.
