"Nature's Spectacle: The Magnificent True Crab Aggregations" Witness the awe-inspiring sight of thousands of Spider crabs (Leptomithrax gaimardii) gathering for their moulting ritual in the southern region. This aggregation showcases the beauty and intricacy of nature as these creatures shed their exoskeletons to grow anew. In another mesmerizing display, an enormous congregation of European Spider crabs (Maja squinado) can be found off the coast of St. Ives, Cornwall during August. Their synchronized moulting process creates a breathtaking spectacle that captivates all who witness it. Venturing further into tropical waters, we encounter the Channel clinging crab (Mithrax spinosissimus) in Eleuthera, Bahamas. These fascinating creatures cling tenaciously to rocks with their spiny limbs, showcasing both strength and adaptability. The Spiny Spider Crab (Maja squinado), found in L Etac, Sark within the British Channel Islands, exhibits its unique appearance with long spines adorning its shell. Its presence adds a touch of intrigue to this picturesque location. Moving across continents, we encounter two distinct species - Callinectes sapidus or blue crab and Ranina ranina or spanner crab. Both possess remarkable features that make them stand out among their counterparts. Delving deeper into marine life diversity, we discover the Velvet swimming crab C016 / 6104 gracefully navigating through ocean currents. Its velvety texture and vibrant colors add elegance to its surroundings. Taking a step back in time through artwork from centuries ago reveals captivating depictions of Flower crabs (C016 / 5863). These intricate illustrations showcase not only artistic skill but also highlight humanity's fascination with these marvelous creatures throughout history. Not limited solely to aquatic habitats, even terrestrial environments are home to intriguing specimens like Terrestrial crabs depicted in artwork C016 / 5545.
