Slug Eggs: Clutches #21 & 22

I was about to put some photos up of Clutch #21, when on analyzing one of them I realized that there were two clutches instead of one, so I had to return to take some more photos. Here they are:

Clutch #21 (about 12 eggs):

Since the opened seed in the photo above might be confused with an egg, I removed it for the second photo and also uncovered a second loose egg at the bottom of the photo.

Clutch #22 (about 9 eggs):


**Note: There is always the possibility that one clutch can be scattered, resulting in two or more groups, but most of the time it seems the slug (Lehmannia valentiana) lays its eggs in one area.
