I found this yesterday. I would appreciate it if anyone knew what it was.

Though it looks like a baby is on the outside already.

Oh good! I have bought preying mantis egg sacs for the last 2 years. But as I recall the sacs looked round.

Thanks so much!

It looks like a Stagmomantis californica to me.
