I came across this on the outside of my dining room window. It's the size of a grape. Is it a Praying Mantis cocoon? And has it hatched yet? I don't want to disrupt it, whatever it is...

@Tumbleweed Bees are not hornets, though unlike wasps both those genus won’t bother you too much. Bees will pollinate. Hornets will get rid of most of the insect pests in you gardens but unfortunately possibly bees and other useful insects as well. Wasps and more likely to end up stinging you because they are constantly after what you have and totally disrespectful of human personnel space. Praying mantis - we dont get them. Guess they are good for pest control as well although I read they are not above eating aphids and black fly.
