  1. Today's #Weretober is a peacock mantis shrimp - neither a shrimp, mantid, or peacock - but they can punch faster than you can blink, so it's probably better to respect their space.

    Especially if they're were-crustacean sized.

  2. In this together. Accidental triple exposure. Focusing through folded pages of a book, the camera caught the switch between screen saver photos. Hermit, tree, sky, marine life encyclopedia, tech; we sink or swim together. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit #Invertefest #AccidentalPhotography

  3. Holms' hermit, on the job. When a barnacle dies, hermits quickly clean it out, removing the interior plates, scrubbing the walls, leaving the place ready for occupancy by other critters: anemones, worms, even fishes. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit #Invertefest

  4. Living in a cave? Or is that a hungry fish? I keep coming back to this pic and wondering. What was she thinking? That shell is far too big for her! Or maybe not; she flips it over and walks away with it. She's stronger than she looks. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit #Invertefest

  5. Black-eyed hermit, making a mess. He's in a tidy tank in a local aquarium; so neat and clean he is, but look at the snowstorm under his shell; he's stirring up the sand in search of edibles. #VancouverIsland #HermitCrabs #IntertidalInvertebrates #Invertebrates #MarineLife #DailyHermit #Invertefest
