While we’re on the subject of grumpy fish… This particular shrimp goby really didn’t seem to want to let me take photos of his shrimp, and then those eyes to finish off the grumpy look… 🙂

One of several species of fish that always look grumpy, I managed to get this nice portrait and thought it worked well for a square crop…
I would see these cool guys a significant amount at the dive site we used for training in Timor, but I never would have my camera with me when we were there. Then luckily on our very last dive, one of the other volunteers spotted…
As promised… another video for you… I might have a couple more coming soon – we’ll see how motivated I am to finish them.
Just a quick highlight video of some of the nice turtle encounters I had while in Timor Leste… The full highlights video from the expedition is coming soon! (like in the next post)

I spotted this pair of mating sea turtles shortly after we started one morning of the cetacean surveys off the coast of Dili, Timor Leste. Our best guess is that these are Olive Ridley Sea Turtles.
I have no clue what kind of moths or butterflies these caterpillars turn into, but they’re still beautiful in their own right.
