I use Firefox ... thanks for doing that. Cheers!

There is certainly a "bug" with removing spottings from missions with the Chrome browser, if you use that one. I had to use Firefox to remove it :-)

Hi S Frazier, I thought I took this spotting out of this category ages ago? Does it still show? Cheers A

Hello. Since no "parent" is seen caring for the nymphs this spotting doesn't fit the Parental care of invertebrates (Brooding behavior) mission. Cheers

Thank you Hanna and Mayra. They could be standing on what's left of their egg shells.
