A great Thor amboinensis photo

One of the best pictures I've seen of a T. amboinensis carrying eggs (post #6). Note how the female's carapace(?) comes down on either side to protect the eggs. And that explains how those little things can get 500 eggs under there that can still hatch large enough for BBS.
