Blue Poison Dart Frog “Poison dart frogs, members of the Dendrobatidae family, wear some of the most brilliant and beautiful colors on Earth. Depending on individual habitats, which extend from the tropical forests of Costa Rica to Brazil, their coloring can be yellow, gold, copper, red, green, blue, or black. Their elaborate designs and hues are deliberately ostentatious to ward off potential predators, a tactic called aposematic coloration.” Photograph by George Grall

Nudibranch, Philippines “Nudibranchs’ colorful lives are short, lasting less than a month in some cases, and rarely more than a year. Their elusive nature makes them difficult to study, and their boneless, shell-less bodies leave no record of their brief existence.” Photograph by Clare Keating, My Shot
