Seriously? Not even guesses as to genus/species?
4) Giant Flower Mantis - unusual round ooth

about the size of a gumball. Genus/species?

The collector in Tanzania thought they were a Creobroter species. Those I've had

laid flatish, elongated oothecae, and were all from areas in Asia, not East Africa.

Perhaps other members can ID this possibly African Creobroter species from its

round ootheca? I have not seen the adult mantises yet, so cannot guess, sorry.

 
The big brown mantis seems to be a Parasphendale species if thats of any help.
