it was wild moving to california & learning that many of the monarch butterflies migrate east to west, not north to south like they do east of the sierra nevadas
this is a cluster of overwintering monarchs on a eucalyptus in pacific grove's monarch sanctuary
(sorry it's backlit, early morning)

why are brittle stars such adorable echinoderms? I feel like this is a betrayal of my lab to admit but they are my favorites to find in tidepools

I hate all this. I just wanna play games, watch anime and look for invertebrates.
Here, have a rainbow dendronotus nudibranch.

This is a nudibranch, or sea slug. I love finding them when I’m scuba diving and taking pictures of them as well. Always fun subjects for macro photography.
If it’s Monday…it’s Macro Monday.

Some #nudibranch from 04/05!
The new to me ones were the Stubby Dendronotid (first one) and the Hammerhead Doto, which I haven’t included here because this little dude is the size of a grain of rice and my camera just isn’t that good. Other three are Hopkins Rose, San Diego Dorid, and Opalescent.
