This Hermit Crab is an incredibly tiny creature, barely larger than a thumb nail. With its intricately patterned shell, this miniature crab scampers along beaches and coral reefs, seeking shelter and food. Its petite size adds a touch of charm to its already mysterious allure, reminding us of the fascinating wonders that exist in our world, no matter how small.

Thanks for your visits, comments, faves, invites, etc. I really appreciate it very much.
Atlantic ghost crab on the beach at Cape Henlopen State Park
Ghost crabs burrow in the sand, but must get into the water periodically to moisten their gills. They are very shy, but if you stand still long enough, they emerge to roam around. Until you move, and then they are instantly gone. It's a cool game

After a two year hiatus from Stone Harbor point, we made it back to the beach. Had a fantastic day. One of the cool things to do is get shots of these crabs.
(279/365) This Crab Apple tree in our chicken pen has had plenty of fruit this Summer. Sadly I don't like crab apple jelly (plus it seems so fiddly what with having strain it through a muslin bag overnight) so I don't make it & the fruits are left for the chickens & crows to enjoy.
While in the self-proclaimed "Cherry Capital of America", Traverse City, we saw two trees loaded with the most perfect plump red fruits. I stopped to take a picture of the "cherry trees", and they turned out to be Crab Apples.
Googling "Crab Apple Recipes", I was surprised to find many recipes for crab apple jelly, pie filling, butter...etc. I'm sure the abundant fruits would taste fine, but seems like a lot of work preparing the tiny apples.
Wikipedia: The crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis), also known as the long-tailed macaque and referred to as the cynomolgus monkey in laboratories, is a cercopithecine primate native to Southeast Asia. A species of macaque, the crab-eating macaque has a long history alongside humans; it has been alternately seen as an agricultural pest, sacred animal in some temples, and more recently, the subject of medical experiments.

Driving through the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park I passed a group of macaques in the water. By the time I turned around and came back they had already exited the water and were climbing nearby trees.
Wikipedia: The crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis), also known as the long-tailed macaque and referred to as the cynomolgus monkey in laboratories, is a cercopithecine primate native to Southeast Asia.

The crab-eating macaque lives in matrilineal social groups of up to eight individuals dominated by females. Male members leave the group when they reach puberty. It is an opportunistic omnivore and has been documented using tools to obtain food in Thailand and Myanmar. The crab-eating macaque is a known invasive species and a threat to biodiversity in several locations, including Hong Kong and western New Guinea The significant overlap in macaque and human living space has resulted in greater habitat loss, synanthropic living, and inter- and intraspecies conflicts over resources.

I don't think anyone goes hungry on Bolivar Flats although some fare better than others in the process. On the poorer side in this case is a small crab, snatched by a Willet from a shallow tidal pool at the edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
The final image from my walk around the bottom of Salcombe the other morning. It was an amazingly still morning with just a little bit of mist and plenty of reflections to play with.
Grapsus grapsus is one of the most common crabs along the western coast of the Americas. It is known as the red rock crab, or, along with crabs such as Percnon gibbesi, as the Sally Lightfoot crab. I photographed these beauties while traveling through the GalƔpagos Islands.
This tiny crab is a very small parasite (gall crab) of LPS. It affects mainly corals genus Turbinaria, on which it feeds and in which it lives. P.viridis dig small holes in the coral and inhabit cavities in the stony coral. The crab lives inside corals.It feeds on coral polyps or mucus. Pseudocryptochirus viridis gets its name from the blue-green color.(researchgate.com/reeflex.net) Mabini, South Luzon, Philippines
Flickr feed issue:
The last photo I uploaded was invisible in the feed of many people. I thought Flickr had rectified this issue, but apparently it is back and just as irritating. The whole point of sharing photos is that they may be seen and the feed is the main source. Let's see what happens with this one......
