The photo shows a small, bright yellow, ghost crab at the entrance of its burrow it has dug out of the sand on a beach in St. Lucia. The Atlantic Ghost Crab can be found along the east coast from Massachusetts to Brazil.

In this color photograph, a small Atlantic Ghost Crab on the beach stares back at the photographer. I captured this photograph while walking on the beach at night with my grandchildren using only a flashlight for illumination. The Atlantic ghost crab is a common species along the Atlantic coast of the United States, where it is the only species of ghost crab. The Atlantic ghost crab lives in burrows in sand above the strandline. Older individuals dig their burrows farther from the sea, some starting as much as 400 m (1,300 ft) inland. Burrows can be up to 1.3 m (4 ft 3 in) deep, and can be closed off with sand during hot periods. (source: Wikipedia)

Extreme close-up of a ghost crab (mostly sandy and pink colored) on a sandy beach. You can see the details of her legs and eyestalks looking alien/weird.
🎶 On the 8th day of #Crustmas my true love gave to me - a crab with a cool, spiky knee 🎶

Those little hairs on his legs are called setae! Nope, he doesn’t need to shave.
They help capture water from damp sand so these dudes and dudettes can breathe without having to go into the ocean.

Aye! Aye!
Can you spot the juvenile #GhostCrab in this video? 👀 With mottled gray-brown coloring, young ghost crabs (Ocypode quadrata) blend perfectly into the sand. Their latin name means "swift footed." Watch closely or you'll miss the moment this crab scuttles swiftly away! 🦀

Just visit western Coastline of Sumatra, and we're very happy to see this special Horn-eyed ghost crab (Ocypode ceratophthalmus). You can easily to recognised by the horn-like stalks extending from the top of its eyes.

A ghost crab scurries in the sand in Cocoa Beach, Florida, as a wave forms in the background.
Another 2024 fav. This little ghost crab. Could have cropped more but I like it as an environmental portrait.
Laid on my stomach FOREVER waiting for the perfect moment, and was absolutely pitted by tiny rocks. Worth it.
