This photograph shows us how a hermit crab tolerates human proximity (and importantly the vice versa as well) as it makes its way along the beach. It is a sweet portrait of an amusing species and a lovely documentary. I wonder if those people have a mobile-home too…

Thank you very much for your voting and your nice and humorous comments here! (Sorry to have no hare drier!) This image was captured with a 4 MP Canon Digital Ixus 400 at our honeymoon trip at Rarotonga, Cook Islands. Minimal post processing only. It's not an easy life in a shell - always in danger of life and molested by tourists...;-) Christian Bernfeld, Austria
