the accidental lobster - a photo on Flickriver

            There's a little story behind this not-so-great photograph. I was looking in a lava tube that had often yielded good invertebrate finds. As I poked around, I noticed some movement in the skylight above me. A lobster was apparently returning from a night of foraging on the reef. Whether alarmed to see me or, maybe, knocked loose by my exhaust bubbles - he fell right in front of me. I only had time to press the shutter once before he disappeared into a deep crevice.
