Bug Light

Type:
lighthouse

Probably refers to any of the several harbor lighthouses, which are built on islands of rubble stone and are reputed to be good lobster sites.

Note that many of these fall under New York lobster laws!

Squilla empusa is a species of mantis shrimp found in areas of the western Atlantic Ocean from the Gulf of Mexico to Cape Cod, from the intertidal zone down to about 500 ft. It excavates and occupies a deep U-shaped burrow in soft sediment, from which it emerges, mainly at night, to feed on fish and invertebrate prey. They grow to a length of 12", although I have only ever seen small ones in the bellies of striped bass.
