Tenodera angustipennis ootheca

I searched here last year and I found many Tenodera angustipennis females and ootheca. I was specifically searching for carolina and saw none. This also looks a lot more like a Tenodera angustipennis ootheca.

Moved

Moved from Carolina Mantis. I'm likely wrong on this one. If the length is accurate, it is too long for S. Carolina. S. Carolina has been documented in New York, though.

Thanks for keeping with this.

Thanks for keeping with this.
So what length should I be looking for? I'll be there on Tuesday, and should be able to actually measure some of these things. I know that several are on the building.

Stagmomantis carolina

It is definitely a Stagmomantis carolina ootheca. The published range for this species reflects its traditional, natural range. The mantids get around, though, due to the economy. Some ootheca are sold online and through catalogues, while others hitch rides in nursery stock. Type "mantis egg case" into a search engine and see what comes up. ;^)

Hmmm...

I think this is a Tenodera angustipennis ootheca.

Thanks for confirming and for

Thanks for confirming and for the information. I have seen these cases quite a few times before, but don't think that I have seen the real insect.
Jamaica Bay is near the southwestern entry point of southern insects to fly into New York, and I have seen lots of oddities there and at nearby Ft. Tilden (within sight of coastal NJ). Jamaica Bay has had a lot of plantings by their new visitor center in recent years.
