Nice shot man, Sorry did not see this post until today. I was shown a picture yesterday of a smaller version of one

Went back the next day and took some better ones because they are so interesting.

I was at a dr's appointment yesterday, and he was showing me shots that someone had emailed him. The last time i saw them, they were just little golfball sized creatures.. Looks like they grew

These were quite small. Nowhere close to golf ball size. They just look large in the photo.

One of these somehow got stuck in my second stage, because in May when my gear was being serviced, the reg tech got stung by "some clear goo" in the stage. Up till then I didn't know these existed.

Thanks for the photos.

 

[Dr Dog]

Saw one in the St Lawrence near Morrisburg a couple of weeks ago. Surprised the heck out of me.
