More Crabs

Here are some pictures from our most recent crab expedition. These were taken about a week ago. The small auger shells contain hermit crabs, although they utilize other types of shells as well, depending upon their size. You can see them crawling on the bottom in one of the photos.

The large guy was caught by Norcaida, not me. I don’t mind holding them (from behind), but catching them bare-handed is another story. I think I am too old and slow. They get much bigger than the one in the picture, but we need a different method for the big guys. I just got a net for my son, so our next trip should be fruitful.
