Image of Red Crab
Description:
Squat lobster parts? Lots of these on the beach, some deposited there as Heerman's Gull poop (see secondary photos of freshly observed!). ID as per Jensen, 'Crabs and Shrimps of the Pacific Coast,' p. 182. Four-year-old nephew delighted to be photographing poop. :-) FYI, thousands of them washed ashore in Southern California last February.
