Fiann Smithwick Instagram – It’s not just fossils I find when out collecting. I love looking for living things too! The range of wildlife you can find on the coast if you know where and how to look is amazing. It takes me back to being a kid growing up on the coast and finding everything in nature fascinating.

This little one is a long-legged spider crab that uses seaweed it sticks to its shell and legs to camouflage itself in rockpools. Commonly called decorator crabs, this gives them some of the best camouflage out there and makes them super hard to spot.
