I’m not sure what is wrong with me when I look at nature and think “this reminds me of a CG-movie.” But it’s so easy to imagine the kind of personality this bug might have in one of those movies.

All I know about this picture is that it was taken in Colombia, and that it is simultaneously beautiful and kind of scares me.

Blue crabs are pretty cool. We found this one at the estuary near Puerto Peñasco in Mexico during Spring Break. We got to go out there with someone from CEDO.
This crab had attitude! Trying to catch it was a whole bunch of excitement in itself… There was a lot of chasing in a creek involved (those fin-like back legs make it FAST in water!), and when Emily grabbed it it pinched her.
Then when we released it, which is what the picture is… It just sat there and started eating!

I was looking through Nemo’s Great Uncle’s Flickr photostream a little more, and I found one picture that really amazed me.

Every color is so fantastic.

I absolutely adore this guy. He’s probably some invasive exotic beetle that is going to kill everything, but he’s so darn cute!
Unfortunately the picture is kind of fuzzy because he’s so tiny… But I did my best!

And then I understood why!

Man, sometimes I wish I lived in a crustacean nation.

You can read this crab’s entire personality just by looking at it!
