Crabby Convention - Spider Crabs Gather for the Ultimate Underwater Party!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, a mesmerizing spectacle unfolds beneath the waves off Burton Bradstock, Dorset. It's an extraordinary sight as hundreds of spider crabs (Maja squinado) come together in a massive aggregation, transforming the shallow water into their own dance floor. These arthropods certainly know how to throw a party! With their intricate behavior and fascinating moulting rituals, they create a whirlwind of activity that is both awe-inspiring and comical. Picture them forming circles and clusters, seemingly engaged in deep discussions about crustacean fashion trends or discussing who has the best underwater hiding spot. As if attending some exclusive marine gala, these English Channel residents showcase their vibrant orange bodies against the temperate backdrop of the Atlantic waters. Their large group dynamics make it clear that unity is strength even in crab society! Captured by talented photographer Alex Mustard as part of 2020VISION's stunning collection, this image transports us into an enchanting world where nature reigns supreme. So dive right in and let yourself be swept away by this mass gathering of spider crabs – just remember to bring your dancing fins!
