Two-Spotted Goby Female

Caption: This is a female two-spotted goby displaying its colorful, egg-filled belly, as is regularly done during female courtship. By the end of the breeding season, most courtship takes the form of females courting males. This female also carries an ectoparasite copepod on its dorsal fin.
