In the hot springs on Geyser Hill, these bizarre algae colonies thrive. There are flies that feed on the algae. They have "hot pads" on their feet to protect them from cooking. They kind of skate over the water. The flies are eaten by spiders, who do NOT have the hot pads, so they run, bare foot, (I presume shouting OUCH! OUCH! OUCH!) out onto the mat, grab a fly, and (literally) hot-foot it back to the shore, hopefully before their little toes are burned off. What a life!

Algae - Trentepohlia aurea v. polycarpa. This microscopic alga thrives on ocean salt spray and forms dense colonies on Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) along the Pacific coast. Despite its color, the species is actually a green alga. The chlorophyll pigment is masked by high levels of beta-carotene, the orange pigment found in carrots. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Moss Beach, San Mateo Co., Calif.

From their website: "The orange, velvety 'stuff' especially noticeable on trees and rocks of the shadowed north-facing slopes is green algae named Trentepohlia. Its orange color comes from carotene, a pigment which also occurs in carrots. The growth does not harm the trees." Point Lobos State Reserve, Monterey CA.
