Image of pallid ghost crab

Description:

Pallid Ghost Crab (Ocypode pallidula), per www.marinelifephotography.com/marine/arthropods/crabs/ocy.... Carapace width 8-9 mm. Incredible camo, not only in terms of coloration but also behavior. These guys looked uncannily like wind-blown debris, running with a fluid, stop-start motion, and when they froze they were utterly invisible. I just pointed the camera at where I though it had last been and hoped for the best.
