| 41. | The Utah valvata snail has been observed to produce egg masses which contained 3 to 12 developing snails.
|
| 42. | The male sporocarp is greenish or reddish and looks like the egg mass of an insect or spider.
|
| 43. | Some species have direct development and the shell is shed before the animal emerges from the egg mass.
|
| 44. | Often the male collects and retains the egg mass, forming a sort of basket with the hind feet.
|
| 45. | The egg mass is round or squarish, with 10 to 150 eggs deposited as clusters in each mass.
|
| 46. | Unlike fathers, mothers forage less and over a smaller area near the egg mass while caring for the eggs.
|
| 47. | Adult females aggregate in large clumps and lay egg masses on tree branches or under bridges over flowing waters.
|
| 48. | The sharks conceal their heads amongst the egg masses, while their stripes break up the outlines of their bodies.
|
| 49. | Gypsy moths can hitch a ride on just about anything that provides shelter for their velvety, tan-colored egg masses.
|
