Hi Bill,
To accompany my message on Phyllaplysia padinae, here is a photo of its egg ribbon, also taken at Punta la Gringa, Bahia de Los Angeles in the Gulf of California on 31 May 2001.
Best wishes,

Thanks Jeff,
This egg ribbon is similar to that of Dolabrifera, and quite different from that found in species of Aplysia in which the egg string forms a tangled mass.
Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
