Saturday Critters - Atlantic Ghost Crabs

Saturday Critters - Atlantic Ghost Crab If you spend a few hours on a secluded Atlantic coast beach, you might run into several Ghost Crabs. Atlantic Ghost Crabs are terrestrial but must return to the water to wet their gills. We have seen small parades of them at the beach in Strathmere, NJ. We wonder if there is safety in numbers. They make burrows in the sand above the strandline. According to Wikipedia , the burrows can be up to 4 feet deep. Their compound eyes are on stalks and can swivel 360 degrees. They feed on other small animals, clams, insects, and even turtle eggs. I found several of their entrances decorated, or more likely disguised, with beach debris. The feather is tamped down with a load of sand to stay in place. Smart Crab! They are very shy and can run faster than you can! I've never seen anyone capture one. Thank you to Viewing Nature with Eileen for hosting Saturday Critters.

Leave a comment on what has stopped you, and I'll accept your commenting as permission and add your reason to this post. Over the next few days and weeks, I'll post how I moved past the above list. As someone who has written and published a book, I can say it was a life-changing experience. I'll share my journey, the highs and lows, and the uncertainties. This is a personal account of how I began, what I did ...
