  It "hatched" last night. I put covers over this one and two others to keep them safe. Going out in a little while to see how they are. Posted 5 years ago

      Both were completely eaten by the flies and beetles. They found a way under the covers somehow. One egg left. I did find another carrion beetle though:

The Common Stinkhorn

''Phallus impudicus'', known colloquially as the common stinkhorn, is a widespread fungus recognizable for its foul odor and its phallic shape when mature, the latter feature giving rise to several names in 17th-century England.
