It all depends on your perspective. Changing how you look at things—and we mean this quite literally—can really make you reconsider what you think you know… and spark your creativity while you’re at it.
Just a few more photos from our last day on Cape Cod. A view looking along the outer beach on South Beach in Chatham, MA. The inside of South Beach is much more wave-protected. There we encountered lots of juvenile Atlantic Horseshoe Crabs (Limulus polyphemus) creating trails on the surface of the sandflats. A kettle pond on the Outer Cape. Some of the plants along the shorelines of these coastal plain ponds are adapted to fluctuating water levels (similar to vernal pools). One of these is Purple Gerardia or Purple False Foxglove (Agalinis purpurea, formerly Gerardia purpurea). We also spotted a few tiger beetles in warm, sunny spots along the sandy edges of the pond. Below is a photo of a Bronzed Tiger Beetle (Cicindela repanda). Note the large eyes and very long legs. Tiger beetles are active predators, running after prey such as ants and flies. Earlier in the day we found a different species, a Margined Tiger Beetle (Cicindela marginata) near a salt marsh in Wellfleet. The sickle-shaped and serrated mandibles of tiger beetles are a little frightening when seen up close (next photo), but they're generally not strong enough to hurt people. Here's a Western Tiger Beetle (Cicindela oregona) photographed in the Bodega Dunes in April 2006. The maculations (markings) on the wing covers are important for identifying tiger beetles. If you see one, pay close attention to the sizes and shapes of the stripes and spots.

I am still in Mozambique, and will be here for a few more weeks, but I simply must take a quick break from describing African nature to highlight a spectacular phenomenon that is taking place right…
First time I saw a horseshoe crab was kayaking at Hagen's Cove, Florida near Steinhatchee. As I was kayaking toward the islands, something scooted under me on the bottom of the ocean. At first I thought it was a stingray.

The Class Merostomata "Horseshoe Crabs" are an ancient class of animals who evolved in the early Cambrian "570 million years ago"
Here's how one drug developer harvests horseshoe crabs and turns their blood into tests for impurities in pharmaceuticals.
The whimsy of seaside curiosities seen in this illustrative Horseshoe Crab! Living up to being a natural curiosity, horseshoe crabs are not true crabs, despite their name (they are more closely related to a spider!). Horseshoe crabs have changed very little since they first evolved in the Triassic which earned them their title of "living fossil." With constant change we see in our own lives and even in our most favorite coastlines and islands, this horseshoe crab represents the soothing consistency of nature. All the fine details: Original painting is watercolor and gouache, painted on 140 lb. cold press Arches watercolor paper, 5.75” x 8.25” painted to deckled edge. Framed by Smith Bros. Framing in South Tampa, Fla. Framed artwork measures 16" x 18".
