EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a pair of Cypraea argus, also known as hundred-eyed cowries, against a dark background. These marine gastropods are native to the Indo-Pacific region and are named for their unique shell pattern, which resembles hundreds of tiny, round, brown spots, giving the appearance of numerous eyes. The shiny, smooth, and intricately patterned shells of these cowries are a marvel of nature, reflecting the diverse and vibrant ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean. The Cypraea argus is a species of large cowrie, belonging to the family Cypraeidae and the subfamily Neotaenioglossa. These mollusks are invertebrates, meaning they lack a backbone, and are part of the phylum Mollusca, which includes a vast array of animals such as clams, oysters, and snails. The cowries in this photograph display their apertures, the openings through which they breathe and feed, which are located on the right side of their shells. This studio shot highlights the beauty and intricacy of these fascinating marine creatures, inviting us to appreciate the wonders of the underwater world. The hundred-eyed cowries are not only visually captivating but also play an essential role in their ecosystems as herbivores, contributing to the balance of the marine food chain.
