Do you ever feel like some underwater subjects purposely hide from you only when you have a camera? Now, one diver has proof!

Underwater photographer Timothy Ewing decided to prove that one feisty octopus was playing hard to get, by setting up a camera behind the cephalopod. Sure enough, every time Ewing approached, the octopus would duck back into its den. Busted: red handed tentacled!

“Octopus are one of the more intelligent creatures in the ocean. Sometimes they are too curious for their own good,” explained the clever underwater photographer. “If you hide from them they will come out and look for you.”
