Pill bugs (aka roly polies or doodle bugs) aren’t bugs at all. Though commonly referred to as such, pill bugs are actually land-dwelling crustaceans that are much more closely related to shrimp and crayfish than to any kind of insect. Source Source 2

“This octopus was NOT impressed when I interrupted its morning feeding stroll during my scuba dive in Melbourne, Australia. It blew itself up like a parachute multiple times to try to intimidate me, before trying to torpedo me like a bowling ball! Octopuses are beautiful, intelligent creatures and this one was using its most creative methods of self defense. Or maybe it was just hungry and angry at the same time (= hangry?)

Can you spot the octopus ?
The octopus’ skills in term of camouflage are amazing. It takes them a few millisecond to completely change their appearance, becoming one with their surroundings.
Lobster Jr. figured out the suspended moss balls so much quicker than our old lobster. He also spent most of his time hanging from the bottom munching on the moss.

The blue-ringed octopuses (genus Hapalochlaena) are three (or perhaps four) octopus species that live in tide pools and coral reefs in the Pacific and Indian Oceans, from Japan to Australia.
Contrary to popular belief, the blue-ringed octopus is not the only venomous octopus. In fact, studies have shown all octopuses are venomous. The blue-ringed, however, is the only octopus with venom powerful enough to kill a human.
