not sure

    Not sure what to do , did not mark as an egg because it was still moving with the worm . It started at 1.59 seconds or there about. Cheers ,Ian

    That looks like it might be another impacted egg... I wonder if that's something that happens often?

    I marked it as an egg because it seemed to appear in this clip.
    Is that correct?
    In the past I have not.

    randi, in this case I think you're right to mark it. As you say, it looks like it was laid (partially at least) in this clip. For the cases where the egg is stuck from the start I would leave those blank.

    That actually answers a question that we've had around here quite a bit.

    So if an egg looks to be laid, even if it moves with the worm, mark it?

    But not if it looks like the worm starts with an impacted egg?

    Yes, that's right. This one looked pretty clean. BUT, beware of food piles around the worms that might look like eggs.
