It’s not spicy enough around here, so I’m posting these uncensored clips of a horseshoe crab nightime mating aggregation I was lucky enough to see a few years ago.

Their unique blue blood allows them to lose a limb, self-heal and keep on ticking. #Limulus
A male horseshoe crab (arthropod with a large head, spikey opisthosoma, and sword-like tail called a telson) with several slipper snails on its opisthosoma. He leaves a trail in the sand as he scuttles back toward the ocean. Slaughter Beach, Delaware.
A female horseshoe crab partially buried in sand. Her head (cephalothorax) is almost completely buried. Slaughter Beach, Delaware.
A male and female horseshoe crab attached to each other on the beach. The male is on the left and the female below him on the right. Slaughter Beach, Delaware.
A male and female horseshoe crab getting splashed by ocean water as they attempt to reach the beach together. The male is a lighter brown color while the female is a darker brown-gray color. Cape Henlopen, Delaware.
Got to see living horseshoe crabs in the wild this past weekend! They're one of my favorite modern invertebrates, but I've never seen them alive in the wild before!! We were a bit too early for the full spawn, but I'm still so happy! #horseshoecrab #limulus
I invested in a laptop with a slot for an SD card so I can transfer my photos faster (also so I can play Sims4 on the go and do some art). These were taken back in September
