Sea Anemone

The ornately colored sea anemone is named after the equally flashy terrestrial anemone flower.

A close relative of coral and jellyfish, anemones are stinging polyps that spend most of their time attached to rocks on the sea bottom or on coral reefs waiting for fish to pass close enough to get ensnared in their venom-filled tentacles.Their bodies are composed of an adhesive pedal disc, or foot, a cylindrical body, and an array of tentacles surrounding a central mouth. The tentacles are triggered by the slightest touch, firing a harpoon-like filament into their victim and injecting a paralyzing neurotoxin. The helpless prey is then guided into the mouth by the tentacles.

Caterpillar - Green

I am almost 90% sure that this is the caterpiller of the Oleander Hawk Moth. The larvae feeds on jasmine, oleander and mango trees. They are very fat and quite large, about 2 inches in length.

A magnificent specimen

I think most people take lunch boxes to work with sandwiches in it. I have the idea that for me, the sandwiches are just an excuse. I need something to put my insects in!! :)
This is a Large Brown Longhorn (Macrotoma palmata) - aptly named for sure. His body length is about 2 inches.
