Question: What is this? I found
it under some peeled back bark on my grapevine.
Answer: What you are looking at is the praying mantis egg case. On breaking it open you should notice some very young baby praying mantises. We are just a few weeks away from the babies emerging from the cocoon looking egg cases. Some are brown and others are a brighter orange-brown. They are beneficial insects for any garden or landscape. They true bug-eaters, and no green plants are eaten.
You can buy “Praying
Mantis egg cases” on Amazon or from other suppliers.
