phew thought we were going to see something else there for a second!!
The biggest were perhaps only an inch wide.
Small but in numbers. That is a lot of crabs in one place.
Where was this taken?
^It was Gulf Islands National Seashore, near Ocean Springs, Mississippi.
These crabs contrasts with another kind I saw in a beach in Bahia, Brazil. They were almost a foot long. If one allows them to grab one's toe, one could loose the toe, so strong is its grasp! Sorry I don't have a picture to show...
