Young worm?

  • Atacca by Atacca

    Nothing to do with eggs, sorry. This one is interesting as it's the first I've come across that has something else apart from the worm in it. What I assume is a young worm (below-left of the mid-section) is in the frame.

    Yes, that's right, it's a first larval stage worm that you can also see. Especially for egg-laying defective mutants, you'll sometimes see some larval worms crawling around as well.
