Why?
“U.S. officials, who have seen current American #intelligence assessments and spoke to #CBSNews under condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive national security matters, said the mines currently employed by Iran in the strait are the Iranian-manufactured #Maham3 and #Maham7 #Limpet Mine.“
Read intel last night, CBS news on a narrow straight being laid with #SeaMines.

Tiny #limpet reveals big secrets of the deep sea https://phys.org/news/2025-11-depths-discovery-tiny-limpet-reveals.html paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13235818.2025.2578245
"P. nautilus is part of a rare group of #limpets that make their homes on wood falls—tree trunks and branches that settle on the seafloor.... the presence of individuals of many different sizes indicates the #WoodFall supported multiple generations, suggesting that even tiny islands of habitat can sustain #DeepSea communities long enough for population turnover and dispersal"

I’m reading about blue-rayed limpets from Europe after seeing this terrific photo by Pfuetzi in my #Flickr feed. The internet has told me a lot about how they’re blue (“mineralized hierarchical photonic architecture”!) but not yet why they’re blue. Anyone know why they need these crazy blue stripes?

Baby snail? Baby limpet!!?

A small community of Common Limpets (Patella vulgata) have selected this particular rock as their resting spot during lowtide. Once the tide returns they'll head off looking for food.

A selection of Limpet feeding trails.When the tide comes in Limpets beging feeding by scraping freshly grown algae off the rocks. They use a radula (a rasp-like tongue) which has up to a hundred tiny teeth made from one of the strongest natural substances we know of.

Normally I only see iridescence/nacre on limpet shells when I flip them over and look inside. These individuals live in an exposed spot and the outside of their shells have worn down to the point where you can see the blueish sheen showing through.

Limpet feeding tracks - left behind as they scrape algae from the rock surface using their radulae. A limpet radula is a rasp like organ containing over 100 rows of teeth.

A pair of Limpet shells in pic1 that have been predated on by Dog whelks (Nucella lapillus) like the one in pic2. Dog whelks are carnivorous marine snails that drill holes in the shells of other species then inject them with digestive enzymes and suck the resulting "soup" up with their proboscis. 🐌😋

A group of Limpets a Beadlet Anemone a couple of Periwinkles and some Topshells all crowded together in this wee corner to shelter from the recent stormy weather. Once the sea settles down a bit they'll all move out to look for food.

Limpet (Patella sp.) feeding trails - the one in the centre was clearly eating on the go! It's trail reminds me of a bungee rope.
Limpet teeth are made up of fibers of Goethite - one of the strongest known natural substances. County Clare, Ireland.Cormacscoast.com Walking tours

The inside of Common Limpet (Patella vulgata) shells often have an iridescence that is hard to capture on camera - but because this shell has been worn down a bit it's shining through much more strongly 😍 County Clare, Ireland.
