Ocypode quadrata
This one was a baby. It was found when we were digging a hole at the beach. His tiny claws didn't do any damage when he got my finger.
Sandy areas.
They enjoy sunflower seed shells. We were eating the seeds and dropping the shells and the crabs would come out and snag them and take them back to their holes.
