I only took one photo of these tiny little Sponge Isopods (Santia sp.) when I was in Timor Leste, and I kind of wish I had gotten some closer shots (though I also am not sure how close this one is). I am not sure…
I’ve shared a couple photos of this waterfall previously, but I was going through the archives and figured I would share a couple new angles.
Some of the items from the post title are easier to spot than others depending on the photo (and they’re not all in every photo), but see if you can locate them. Note: Click on the photo to open it in the lightbox for a…
A tiny little critter found during a night dive in Amed, this Olivar’s Squat Lobster (Munida olivarae) is only a little over an inch long including its claws.
This first shot, I got pretty close to this snake, pushing the minimum focusing distance of 3.2 feet on my Canon 100-400mm telephoto lens for this very nice close-up. Don’t worry – I had observed the snake for a long while before approaching this close,…
Ok – so I actually have three videos for you… I couldn’t decide on what music to use, so I simply used three different songs (I at least managed to narrow it down that far). Two of the videos have one extra “scene” to accommodate…
Today is another case where I had something else scheduled to go live, but I moved it to bump something up on the schedule. On Monday, I decided to head out specifically with two photographic subjects in mind… Timber Rattlesnakes (Crotalus horridus) and the NEOWISE…
Yes, you read that title correctly… this is a very deadly snail in the cone snail family. While I was on my Timor Leste expedition with Blue Ventures, our hazardous marine creatures lecture included a section about cone snails… of course most people scoff at…
A couple more of those Red-Spotted Newts (Notophthalmus v. viridescens).
Spotted (pun intended) these guys while out hiking on the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail… though with that bright orange color, they certainly stand out. Red-spotted Newts (Notophthalmus v. viridescens).
These photos are of two different individuals, but they are among the coolest eels I’ve seen during diving. The Napoleon Snake Eel (Ophichthus bonaparti) gets to about two and a half feet long and lives in sandy burrows (as you can see from mostly just…
This seems to be a common thread, but here is another nudibranch that I am having a hard time identifying. I think the most likely identification is for Chromodoris tennentana or Goniobranchus tennentanus which are both the same (the Chromodoris family seems to have received…
