Unknown Insect? Harmful?

[KC Kam]

Greetings all,

Anyone has any idea what this is and whether it is harmful to orchids? It looks like some egg but it was empty when i peel it off. Im not sure what is this.


Thanks in advance.

Sorry, the photo is too out-of-focus to be able to identify anything.

The picture isn't too clear, and I don't know what species you might have in your area, but it looks to me somewhat like a mantis egg case. They're generally considered to be beneficial predators, in fact the egg cases are sold in garden centers here.

Check out the photos and see if that looks similar. Thanks for sharing pictures. Your climate, flora and fauna are so interesting!
