Hi Mike, we had a lacie nest in an upright hollow log, she covered the eggs with sawdust she made by scratching the insides of the log.

I heard all this scratching and I had no idea what she was doing. The log was in a large mound of leaflitter, and I thought she would go in the log and nest in the leaflitter, she fooled me.

We have had many leaflitter nests.

Do you remember the series of pics I took when a female lacie went down, laid some eggs, then came up and tossed a dead mouse out of the nesting area, then laid two eggs outside the nest and carried them in and completed the nesting normally? I have pics of that somewhere.
