Crabasaurus

So, some supplementary pictures for yesterday's post.

Black-clawed mud crab (Panopeus herbstii), an ambush predator:
A very muddy white-clawed mud crab (Eurytium limosum); these look similar to black claws but behave a little differently and tend to be much feistier:
Purple marsh crab (Sesarma reticulatum), which are herbivores and pack quite a pinch:



Marsh fiddlers (Uca pugnax), which are EVERYWHERE:
And sand fiddlers, which are not:


So there you have it. Too many crabbies!
