I think a praying mantis cocoon. Or just a mantis cocoon to be PC.

Jon, it does remind you of a praying mantis but I don't think it is.

Looks like a distant relative to the ceti eel . . . keep it away from Chekov.

I think it is a Preying Mantis egg case.

Looks interesting BWS. I don't think I have seen one of those.

I've seen the praying mantis and don't think this is one but it could be.

Remove it and cut it open.

Let it be, watch it...it will tell you what it is in its own time. When all is revealed, report back.

I agree. We'll let it be and see what happens next spring.
