Must appologise CR... I realise now I was watching Fiddler crabs and not Soldier crabs. Yet another thing I have already learnt from Noah.
Isn't it under arthropods now? The dragonfly logo is confusing.
Ooppps .... my eyes gone silly ... thanks S Frazier ...
Great series. Moved to arthropods :-)
I would love to experience that. You are lucky!!!
Wonderful creatures these. I remember watching a blue army and a red army on a beach near Yepoon. The reds would advance en masse, the blues would back off, then the blues would advance and the reds would back off. Never any actual contact though lust lots of 'claw-waving' but very very entertaining.
