Spectacular !
stunningly beautiful...
Thanks for your kind comments MayraSpringmann.
Wonderful! Very different!
Wow, convergent evolution in action! It's been many years since my course in Marine Invertebrate Zoology!
No, NOT mantis family even oxyjack.
Wow! This is a kind of mantis shrimp, yes?
It has honestly been on my bucket list for years. The hard part for me is I live in the midwest and I need to move closer to an ocean ;) But yep all these beautiful underwater pictures are making me antsy to scuba dive
If my pictures can move you into diving that will be great Terri. The underwater world has more color then the topside world.
I really need to start scuba diving, I am missing so much beauty. Just beautiful colors
