What are These?

One is some kind of egg sack, so friend or foe?

The other I think might be adenium seed pods.

Could be anything so Ill throw in this possibility: Biorhiza (Pallida)

Does it, in person, make the appearance the material was added from another source or is part of the plant ? Looks to me like a foreign source which then again rules out Biorhiza. Id expect mantis ootheca to have a more tidy structure whilst this one is randomized, yet I too think the odds are Mantis.

Fingers crossed for baby mantises. Insane a female near this plant yesterday, and last year a female hung around the kratom plant for months.

And seed pods! I didn't hand pollinate, so I thought maybe I was getting excited for nothing. Normal protocol- wait until the pod is ready to fall then harvest?

The seed pods dont fall, they split open and the first gust of wind carries them all away. After another week or two move them inside so when the pod opens the seeds dont scatter or cover the pods with a plastic bag in a week.
