I know you have plenty of these already David, but this was my first encounter. Fascinating.

Nice one Yve, aptly named too!

[David Humphries]

Was this one at some height off the ground Yve?

 

Any other unhatched eggs around this one?

 

 

You should add this on to the thread.........

Thanks Hama....indeed it is aptly named!

 

This was right at ground level David and I coudn't see any unhatched eggs around it, but I'll go back and have a better look again today. Funnily enough, I didn't smell anything offensive emanating from it. Does the stink come along a bit later in it's life cycle? (lol...I had contemplated adding it to your other thread!!) Incidentally, it was at least 12" long...is that about the normal length or do they also vary in size?

[David Humphries]

Apparantly they do vary greatly in size

 

 

Smell is usually associated with the grey/green spore covering the head, that your shot lacks.
