Celebration: 1000 Crab Species for "Crabs of the World!"

Congratulations and thank you to the 337 members of “Crabs of the World,” for documenting one thousand species of crabs around the world! We have met my original goal, and now aim for 1,500.

In this post, I’d also like to share a few links. Here are @mikegigliotti’s helpful notes on online crab resources, crab anatomy, and how to photograph a crab:

And here is a nice hermit crab in Florida that is new to iNat. I observed it almost a year ago, but did not manage to ID it until today:

You are such a tenacious and dedicated naturalist, Susan, congratulations!

Publicado por wendy5 hace más de 5 años

Thanks Wendy. I don't know much about arthropods, but I work hard and long at squeezing and rattling the google search function until the piece of info or photo that I need pops out!
