44 Tritia reticulata

Zostera leaf with neat row of ‘brandy bottle’ egg capsules of T. reticulata like books on a shelf all leaning at c.50°. Each capsule contains 50 to 350 orange-pink or white ova. These capsules have eggs that have grown to fill the capsule, and the capsule has begun to broaden and acquire detritus.
