This is the case where a good Samaritan witnessed a G polyphemus laying eggs in an area where racoons had already unearthed some eggs. So they immediately dug them out and placed them in the same dirt in this bucket. I advised via PC the incubation period and now they delivered the bucket to me once the first had hatched. 

While awaiting the rest to hatch I thiought it would be a great idea to use my GoPro to document the process. The rest of the eggs were not viable.
