One day this summer we saw hundreds of tiny critters running across the road on the way to our local beach. The closer we got, the faster they ran. Not a single one was crushed under a car tire. How could they do that? When I tried to get close to take a photo, they ran into the weeds.
Initially we thought they were spiders or tarantulas. Finally I jumped out of the car and captured one in a photo. That's when I saw it was a tiny crab. They're about the size of quarter, the small but mighty crab. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.
