These are oothecas I found in Greeley, Colorado. I would appreciate any information you could supply on them.

I would have to say these are more than likely Mantis Religiosa (European Mantis) oothecas, and very large ones at that. One note about this species: the European Mantis oothecas require a period of exposure to cold temperatures for a few months, or they won't hatch. Storing them in the refrigerator over the winter should be sufficient. Hope you have lots of hatchlings from these ooths, and that they all live long, happy lives.
