Ghost Crab

It isn't easy to sneak up on a GHOST CRAB,
but everyone knows where his burrow is because of all those tracks.

Sometimes they hide under the sand with only their eyes out.

Ghost crabs grow up to 2 inches wide and eat almost anything..

Combat between males is highly ritualized
and rarely ends with contact.
This crab was in a highly trafficked area
of North Lido Beach about noon.
