I'll have to dig out the extension tubes for my DSLR to try to get some better photos.

Ooooh. The first larva has made an appearance! Hopefully there will be a whole cloud of them soon.

Looks like one of the mamas dropped an egg. Probably the one bursting at the seams with eggs.

Still there? Try to save it in a net or similar.

How interesting. This petrified wood is the popular mommy hangout. There are 6 berried girls hanging out.

The second batch of babies is starting to appear. I think won't be long now for the swarm. The mamas seemed to get berried at about the same time.
