The photo of the adult female here looks like a S. limbata not a S. carolina:

The second/middle photo looks like a M. religiosa nymph:

The first photo may be a S. floridensis (I am not sure). What area is the ootheca from? Iris oratoria coloration similar ( http://bugguide.net/node/view/268785/bgimage ). And the third photo is a Mantis religiosa ootheca and not a S. carolina:

The first photo of an ootheca here ( http://prayingmantispets.tictail.com/product/ghost-mantis-ootheca ) looks different from the photos I have seen of Phyllocrania paradoxa. Can anybody tell what species it is?

I do not know about the other photos on the website because I do not know much about those species.

It looks like a miomantis sp. Reminds me of paykullii http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v219/yen_saw/egyptian/ooth2.jpg

It's definitely not Phyllocrania paradoxa, I know that much
