Finding these 10 cm egg balls all over St Abbs area. ID ?????? any ideas.

Oh Good, Does this mean we can expect to see lots of Spanish Dancers there this year?
Look forward to lots of good pics. :)

Maybe, tho' they do fall prey to predators rather easily in their juvenile state...:eek:
It's the eggs of a Tritonia hombergii Cuvier, 1803
