    Thanks folks for your kind comments.
    I thought I had a bunch of turtles when I first saw them.
    The mystery is solved.

    First off, great images!

    But... can someone please explain how the hell did that happen?! I mean the golden egg just turned transparent after the bugs came out of it... did it have a sort of gold "film" inside? headscratch.gif

    All I can suggest is that the colour from the critter inside the egg is the colour we were seeing.
    A little strange though, especailly with the lid being such a different distinct colour.
