  1. That is just stunning! We've come across some of these over the years but I don't think I've ever seen one as convincing as this one. Even when zooming in fully it seems almost a 100% transparent. Posted 6 years ago
    1. Indeed! some of them you don't see until they move! Posted 6 years ago
  2. This is an amazing mimicry! Do they change their color depending on the color of the sand? Posted 6 years ago
    1. I think to same extent most flounders can do that. I did not notice it in this one because it flew quite fast when I approached. I guess is also more apparent when the floor is more variable. :-) Posted 6 years ago
