Continuing our exploration of the fauna of Galapagos....

Sally Lightfoot Crabs are the scavengers of the shoreline across the
islands in the Galapagos. I found them most photogenic, with their bright
colours standing out like a sore thumb whether on sand or basalt. As you
can see there is a bit of variation in the actual colours.

Lava Lizards, as their name suggests, are tiny predators of the rocky
basalt areas, hiding in the nooks and crannies and ambushing unsuspecting
insects.
