When I first noticed this, I thought
it was part of the stone work…a
fossil of some sort.
Further investigation revealed it to be
a very well camouflaged egg case of
a praying mantis.
I will be waiting patiently until next
year to hopefully see the little ones
emerge.

It blends in so well, I suppose to escape the notice of would-be predators.
