Underwater Photographer of the Year 2017 #UPI2017 Cat. Behavior Highly commended Image notes: “Such a delicate image and perfectly timed yet it still tells the story of two crabs taking a chance and seeing where their lives will take them. ” Peter Rowlands Story photo Over the past few months, my photographic work has focused primarily on the large presence of species of jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo, in the Gulf of Naples. In this picture a couple of crabs, Liocarcinus vernalis species, are its tenants. When the jellyfish rub the sandy seabed, the crabs jump on it and get carried to different areas.
