Image of Blepharipoda occidentalis Randall 1840
Description:
I found part of a crab- or lobster-like crustacean on the beach. The dorsal side shows the shell color, antennules, and flagellum like structures. Ventral side shows pincers. Seems to be missing part of body and other legs. Thorax shell looks similar to mole crabs.
