Horseshoe crab

Limulus polyphemus

Spotting Image 1

Description:

Horseshoe crab found on Clearwater Beach, FL.

Habitat:

Ocean

Notes:

The day I found this big guy the sky was very overcast, and cloudy. The crab did not seem to be alive, however, I could be wrong. As an added plus, a dragon fly decided to rest on the ancient sea critter.
