That one time I caught an amphipod spying on me.
Balls of whelk eggs are mini ecosystems. You can find all sorts living inside! I’ve found amphipods, porcelain crabs and brittle stars. Just remember to put things back where you found them.

This may possibly be my all time 2022 favourite photo. A skeleton shrimp (Caprellidae family) in silhouette. These aren’t shrimp at all, but amphipods!

There were lots of Amphipods at #westruntonrockpools this week. All different sizes! I didn’t bring any home to ID (quite honestly IDing amphipods is bloody frustrating!) so I’ve no idea on species!
