sealord > I think this flatworm is Cycloporus papillosus. Two individuals were lying on a large colony of the compound ascidian Botryllus schlosseri, on the base of a rock, just south of the Lihou Island causeway.  This flatworm was photographed having glided off the ascidian colony on the 9 May 2009.  The Botryllus schlosseri colony had been excavated and several deposits of very small eggs were deposited in the depression.  I do not know if the flatworms produced the eggs or some other species such as a mollusc.

sealord > Midnight moonlight photography - I used a Canon 5D Mark II to take this 30 second exposure of Guernsey's south coast during a full moon at 1218 a.m. on the 11 January 2009.  I used a 50 mm lens at f4.5 with the camera set at ISO 400 to capture this scene.  It was windy on the cliff top so me and my son and wife tried to shield the camera and the tripod from the wind.

The bay closest to the camera is La Bette Bay.  Next to it is Le Joannet Bay.  In the distance there is Petit Bot Bay and beyond that Portelet Bay.

sealord > This hover fly larva and cocoon was found by Harvey Adams in a somewhat fetid upper-shore tide pool in the splash zone at Portelet on Guernsey's west coast on the 1 August 2008.  These larvae are known as rat tailed larvae because of the 'tail' which is actually a breathing tube. These larvae develop in pools with an abundance of decaying organic matter so the breathing tube is required to obtain oxygen from the atmosphere.  Entomologist Dr. Charles David of the Guernsey Biological Records Centre   http://www.biologicalrecordscentre.gov.gg/   wrote that as "they are in a rock pool they are more likely to be Eristalinus aeneus, which is common round the coast."  Dr. Charles David pointed me to this link for more information:
