Hi Bill,

I photographed several different Limacia cockerelli but didn't that some of them were laying eggs until I saw the images on my computer.

Locality: Monterey Breakwater, 25 feet, California, Pacific Ocean, 02 May 2008. Length: 10-15 mm. Photographer: Todd Aki.

Thanks,
Todd

Dear Todd,

Thanks for these nice photos. The other thing you can see in your photos is the half eaten colony of their bryozoan prey, the orange brown colored Hincksina velata. In the close-up alongside you can see the orange living section of the colony, and the brownish white eaten section alongside the egg ribbon.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
