I’ve got my eye on you! 

This common octopus, or Octopus vulgaris, gave the photographer a stern eye in Gray’s Reef National Marine Sanctuary. Common octopuses (or octopodes, if you want to get fancy) can change color with the help of specialized cells called chromatophores. These cells help the octopus communicate and blend in with its surroundings!

All the better to see you with, my dear - Spider eyeball arrangements

@jumpingjacktrash

on a serious note: this is how you can tell the difference in a wolf spider and a grass spider. eye arrangement is very cool stuff!!!

on another serious note: FANTASY/SCIFI CHARACTER DESIGNERS TAKE NOTE PLEASE (also look up different spider face shapes, no need to reinvent the wheel when creating monsters/aliens)

on a REALLY serious note: they’re all gorgeous. all beautiful. luscious eyeballs. shaped like friends…….
