Tripterygion delaisi


This little warrior, in Spanish, is called a moma nariguda, and was born to exhibit militaristic poses.  This is a male of the species, and it is a tiny species, rarely exceeding 5cm-6cm in length.  The females have more of a brownish patchwork-type body and an orangish head.  Their habitat is a rocky one, and the NW Mediterranean is a calcareous region, so this is heaven for them.
