Amidst the vibrant kelp forest of California, four hidden treasures, California spiny lobsters (Panulirus interruptus), seek refuge beneath a protective boulder. In contrast, a Caribbean spiny lobster (Panulirus argus) sits disoriented on top of a Common sea fan (Gorgonia ventalina), driven out of hiding by fishermen in Utila Island, Honduras. These crustaceans, also known as langoustes, are highly prized for their succulent meat and valuable fisheries. In an engraving from the 19th century, Langouste grainees et Crevettes, the old woman from the Le Bosc region, pays tribute to these crustaceans. As a scuba diver explores the Caribbean reef, a common spiny lobster backs into the safety of the coral, while another pair hides under an overhang. The Bahamian waters of Nassau offer shelter to a spiny lobster, blending seamlessly with the reef. Through the lens of history and the present day, the allure of these spiny crustaceans remains unchanged.
