Thanks for the ID! I just took out the egg case, but I'm a little worried if she'll start stressing out over it. She was being very protective of it earlier. When should I take out the case next time? EDIT: Also, thanks for the tips, Deby. My camera has a flower setting, but I always seem...

Oh, sorry...see if these are any better. I can't figure out the settings on my camera for close-ups. This one didn't turn out too bad, but...yeah.
