This Hawaiian Garden Spider spent a few days on the front door, waiting for prey. I didn’t see it catch anything, though I heard it had a bit of a tussle with a Jehovah’s Witness one day.

The idea of The Numbers Game is to enter a number into the search bar of your computer and then post a selection of the photos that turn up. This week’s number is 201. Captions are on the photos. You can see more responses here.

Top left: This Ember Parrotfish was passing over a school of Convict Tangs.
Top right: A Palenose Parrotfish caught the light, which really brought out its colors.
Bottom: I often see Finescale Triggerfishes, but rarely get decent photos as they seem to shimmer away like ghosts. These three were juveniles, in shallow water, and curious, as younger fish often are.
Top left: Last year, I posted (here) about a Peppered Moray Eel swimming towards me and then rearing up when it saw me. This one, probably the same eel, repeated the performance.
Top right: I hadn’t seen a lobster in a long time and then saw two on this day. This one is a Tufted Spiny Lobster.
Bottom: I spotted this Snowflake Eel just a few feet before reaching the spot where I get out of the water. It was poking around looking for food and, fortunately, did not disappear under a rock as eels often do.

I think this small unit is the local branch of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Seems like a good spot, where they can leap out and apprehend wily immigrants seeking to acquire chicken wings or worse, applying for work.
