Leminda millecra from South Africa

Concerning message #18195:

Dear Bill,
Here are photos of Leminda millecra laying eggs and of its egg ribbon -- as you can see, the eggs are pretty chunky. I was so pleased when we got these pictures, because, of course, unless one catches them in the act of laying, the identification of the egg ribbon remains uncertain.

Locality: False Bay, Smitswinkel wrecks, 28m, South Africa, False Bay, june 2005, horizontal surface of wreck. Length: 70mm. Photographer: Sharon Albert

Best wishes
Georgina

Dear Georgina,
Thanks for this valuable piece of information. I am pretty sure photos of this species' egg mass have not been published before

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
