Praying Mantis Egg Case
Are you sure?
I once saw a Mantis religiosa ovipositing and the ootheca looked quite different, like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ootheca#/media/File:Praying_Mantis_(Mantis_religiosa_religiosa)_Ootheca_02.jpg
Nice image, BTW

Oothecae from different species look different. I am sure this is a mantis ootheca.
