The aquaculturalists here drive bizarre, noisy steampunk-style vehicles along the causeways loaded with, I think, oysters.
Off the beaten path just north of New Smyrna Beach is a spot where tiny crabs come out to play and you can watch an osprey with its catch fly by, or hear a fish jump out of the water. In the distance, is the top of the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. It's a hidden treasure, and thousands of these tiny crabs dart into holes in the sand to escape predation AND cameras! Two of them hide in this pic- one with its little face showing, and one up top trying to hide in a hole!
I certainly wasn't expecting these cute little snails. Generally speaking, Rodenbeck is not squeamish when it comes to the consumption of flesh. There are infrequent exceptions. This was one of them.
These tiny shellfish were labeled as teppines, but I think they are actually called tellines.
