Another cool lobster from last summer. This pale blue critter moulted while a summer student was talking to a bunch of tourist about the genetics of lobster colour. You can see the shed exoskeleton to the right. #invert

There is a small public aquarium in the research facility that I operate. When local harvesters find something interesting in their traps they often bring it to us to display. Here is one of last summer's critters. I've seen several lobsters split 50:50, but this 75:25 critter is new to me. #invert
