This works for #JapaneseCrabDay too 🦀
A page from a kids invertebrates book I saw yesterday. This is showing the story of DEcarcinization, or loss of the crab form, in the true crabs of family Raninidae. At least, I think. 🦀🦑
Yeah sometimes the crab form isn't the best one for a group!

Does #InverteFest art count if you didn't make it?
Saw this on the outside of the Okinawa airport. Every door was different, and I didn't know I had chosen this one
My phone auto translates the text as "Okinawan fiddler crab" (I think it may be Austruca perplexa) 🦀
