This egg packet was dropped from the specimen with the severely foreshortened abdomen in the other photo series. It's amazing how much abdominal length is given up in this process. The egg packet looked black in the hand.

This little brown sedge was collected from the Fall River on May 12th, 2011 and added to Troutnut.com on December 14th, 2011.
