User's notes

These photos were taken at the mound where I have been watching the Lacey hatchlings over the last several days, as posted previously. The Lacey in these photos is an adult that was digging into the mound. There is a belief that a mother Lacey returns to the mound to release the hatchlings, but as the hatchlings have been out for several days already, I am interpreting this sighting today as likely predation.
