Middle Keys hunters get their bugs

MINI-SEASON SCENES

It’s quiet. Too quiet. These photos from the afternoon of July 29, taken near the 7 Mile Bridge, may mean everyone has already caught their limit and is at home heating up the grill. Still, there were plenty of bug hunters taking part in the annual mini-lobster season in the Florida Keys.

A group of friends traveled down from Orlando to catch a limit of bugs.
