Stubbies and not-so-stubbies

We finally made it down to a beach for a short walk this morning, at low tide. Stories Beach is flat, and even the rocky areas are easy walking; we were able to explore a few tide pools before Laurie's leg gave out.

Under a couple of rocks, we discovered these multicoloured Stubby isopods:

Stubbies and Vosnesenski's isopods (the big green ones)

Stubbies and a worm with a red spinal line

Polychaete worms, with Stubbies. Look at this full size to appreciate the iridescent greens and blues of the worm.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
