This afternoon the beach at Punta Belcher (in Bah¡a Magdalena) is traced with long curving rows of millions of small red shrimp, piled up by windwaves and left by the ebbing tide. The naturalists call them Nyctophanus. A local fisherman calls them Langostinas, which according to my weak traveler's Spanish means "baby lobsters." I prefer the Spanish over the Latin!
