 Posts: 2581 | The shape is certainly right! I read your other post and I will definitely have to send you photos next season. They can change when they molt, huh? As far as spectacular color changes go, I saw an octopus go from solid slate grey to spotted all over in an instant, down in Key West when I was a kid. Of course, they have micromuscles controlling the opening and closing of pores to pigment glands, all driven by probably the most developed brain in the invertebrate world! Much as we all love insects, they're just not THAT cool... Jonathon | |
