This is going to be bizarre, but here we go :D

I have a memory of a particular scene from my childhood, but I have no idea what it is from - it could be from TV, a book, a film or a comic, or it could possibly a dream. I'm thinking it's probably from an illustrated book. The scene is as follows:

There is some strange bright multi-coloured monster / caterpillar / sausage-like thing that is either laying eggs or eating eggs whilst the main characters look on and watch. Eventually it gets big or explodes, or oodles or oodles of egg like things comes out in some sort of dramatic fashion

Actually, I'm thinking it might be from something like the Trap Door?!

I realise how utterly ridiculous this sounds but there is nothing like the collective brain power of OCUK. Am I totally insane, or does it exist? :o :D
 
to little info if it was clay animation then it could indeed be trap door, maybe look up some of the eps on youtube and see if it jogs any memories
 
.........................................and he was stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilll hungry

the next morning, he had a stomach ache.

My 3yo still loves that book - he has a giant one with a caterpillar you feed through the holes as well as a giant floor puzzle.

The very busy spider (same author) is quite good too.
 
My 22 year old still loves that book. :D

Back on topic, your scenario does remind me of Trapdoor.
