Squishy
Image of a Mantis Shrimp taken in Alor,Indonesia.These little guys have a hammer which they use to smash open their prey,powerful enough to split fingers & smash ports on underwater housings.They come across as very temperamental,often marching out of their dens & giving you a inquisitive stare.

Great shot. They were supposedly the reference for the creatures in the Alien movies. I think they are doing them a disservice.
