egg capsule

Each earthworm will form an egg capsule in its clitellum and pass it into the environment.

The egg capsule is golden brown and looks like a tiny lemon the size of a match head.

All but the newly identified one either deposit fertilized eggs or give birth to froglets, essentially miniature versions of an adult that already passed through a modified tadpole stage while still in an egg capsule inside the female.

Egg Capsule of Lesser Spotted Dog-fish Dog-fish, a name given to several species of small shark, common around the British Isles.

Found a flat hairy spider, about 1 in. in diameter of body, mottled pale brown and grey, brooding over a flat egg capsule almost of the same tints as itself.
