The photo looks like it might be the start of a paper wasps nest. What do you think?

Oh, I never would have thought of Praying Mantis. In the second photo the bottom shows. Should I mark it solved ? I googled it and I thank you Donna. The next question is should I leave it be? It eats both benefical and "bad" bugs.

We have bunches of these on our spirea bushes! I was wondering what they were, too!
