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

From Wikipedia: The Atlantic ghost crab, Ocypode quadrata, is a species of ghost crab. It is a common species along the Atlantic coast of the United States, where it is the only species of ghost crab;[2] its range of distribution extends from its northernmost reach on beaches in Westport, Massachusetts, south along the coasts of the tropical Western Atlantic Ocean to the beach of Barra do Chui, in Rio Grande do Sul in southern Brazil.[3]

Not as sharp as I would like, but I had to rush it, before Mrs N came back from the shops and caught me using the coffee table top again!! LOL
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.

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.

American Raccoon chews with its mouth open while rinsing the next bite of blue crab in the brackish water of Horsepen Bayou.
This Mecaphesa sp. (?) briefly took up residence in one of our salvia flowers this morning...

I tried a portrait of this crab apple tree at sunset with a fast ultra wide angle which has good near range capabilities. The tree keeps these small fruits the whole winter time and so is a delight for birds.

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......
The seagull has landed and will begin eating the crab it caught earlier. I photographed this on the Salmon River Estuary, north of Lincoln City, Oregon.

The legend of this fruit: The 'Crab Apple' got its name many many years ago. Infact it was shortly just after the wheel was invented sometime around my birth date. A farmer was sitting on a bale of hay when suddenly from out of the heavens a bright light caught his eye. He followed it to earth only to discover a 'Space Crab' perched on a tiny apple in his orchard. From that day to this the little apple is known as a 'Crab Apple' ..... or so the legend says :)

Drifting back into reality these are 'Crab Apple's', very small wild apple fruits, the largest apple is about 3/4 of an inch, beloved by Blackbirds especially and too sour for us humans to eat from the tree so is usually made into a jelly or a drink. Here they are on heavy textured paper illuminated from above and below using diffused LED lights.

Lybia tessellata is a species of small crab in the family Xanthidae. It is found in shallow parts of the tropical Indo-Pacific Ocean. Like other members of the genus Lybia, it is commonly known as the pom-pom crab or boxer crab because of its habit of carrying a sea anemone around in each of its claws, these resembling pom-poms or boxing gloves. L. tessellata is a small crab growing to a width of about 2.5 cm (1 in). The carapace is trapezoid in shape and the margin has a distinct tooth-shaped projection on either side, just behind the short-stalked eye. The surface of the carapace is marked into several differently coloured, geometric regions by a network of dark lines giving it the appearance of stained glass. (Wikipedia)
These pretty white flowers pop up in the fields after a decent rain. This morning I saw that several of them had provided shelter and camouflage for these little white crab spiders...
