Hey Bill
Thanks for posting my photo and comment. I wasn't sure if it would make it!

I will attach a better close up of the rhinophores of my E. diomedea - this was my first time taking photos of my slug so I will work to get some more interesting shots (hopefully some grazing ones).

Unfortunately, that very day that I sent you my photos, the egg ribbon that I saw disappeared. I did however get a photo of it before they it got eaten (I assume)- so i will try to dig that up for you.

Thanks again,
Jake

Dear Jake,

Thanks for the extra photo. I look forward to any more showing specific details or shots of your animal 'doing something' like laying eggs, feeding etc.

Although there are many beautiful photos of sea slugs in colour picture books and websites, it is surprising how difficult it is to find specific anatomical details - such as are the rhinophores a rolled tube or a solid cylinder? - when you have a problem to solve.

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
