The Unstartled Steppes of Dream

Inquiries, Requests, and a Place to Spill Your Guts   Submissions  
I am Ashley.
This is my personal blog. If you want just marine biology, go here.
I love the world; I really don't like people.
I balance all this animosity towards the human race with being an almost always kind and gentle being to all creatures.
I'm highly introverted and nature is my primary escape from humanity.
Creepy-crawly-slimy things are my favorites. Dinosaurs are fantastic.
Future marine biologist; presently an amateur entomologist, ichthyologist, artist, biologist, and writer.
Literature, video game, and music connoisseur.
I'm so full of passion for the world that it hurts.
I think a lot, I laugh a lot, I love a lot.
Almost none of the photos are mine and only some of the drawings are mine.
Listen in.

Common Bluestripe Snapper(Lutjanus kasmira)
Divers often see large shoals of common bluestripe snapper around coral and rock outcrops during the day. Their streamlined bodies mean that they can swim fast when they disperse at night to feed on smaller fish and bottom-dwelling crustaceans. They have a single long dorsal fin, which, like all their fins, is bright yellow. The common bluestripe snapper and many other similar species are important commercial fish. Their beautiful colors also make them popular specimens among aquarium-fish enthusiasts.
