Awwww, the little baby crab was so cute! Reminds me of octopus paralarvae :)

[@del0ryan88]

I wanna eat it.

[@borip765]

I love crabs. They're so cute. My second favorite sea creature after sharks. Blue crab eggs are super delicious too.

The crab shown in the image is commonly known as a Blue Crab. Its scientific name is Callinectes sapidus, and it's known for its blue claws and olive-green shell. Blue Crabs are typically found in the waters of the western Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.

[@DMoNCFL]

Very concise, clear and well researched. Good job!

[@bryannonya9769]

if you knew much about them you would know how much of this she is wrong about.

Yum yum, I love some blue crab.

[@safouanech4473]

Just fished one big blue crabe...I find it very interesting! Thank you!

[@nightgoblinspearman]

So weird how people are afraid of bugs of all kinds and will run away but will pick up a crab with big claws no problem.

[@TheLinposterIsSus]

Can you predict a bug’s movements? Maybe some but flying ones, no. All crabs do is move left or right and you can pick them up at a certain angle in which it can’t reach

[@kevinaosei]

@@TheLinposterIsSus same with insects, anything other than a fly is very predictable, it's just that stigma of "ewww bugs are gross" really.

I love blue crab on my gumbo

[@damagekids]

listen,I like reading comments here but u said what triggered me.if u cook gumbo u have to invite me over.i love me some gumbo made differentlyrics around the world.

[@Mark16v15]

A fact not mentioned is that blue crabs are known to often survive without both claws until they regenerate some new claws after a molt. Without claws, they can filter feed as well as eat directly from carion that they latch onto with their other claws. They are a very resilient crab. The most important fact about blue crabs are that they are very, very tasty.

[@prettylife6456]

Ojj wow blue crab

[@thunderjaw99]

Awesome work .....also i want facts about sea parrotfish please 😊😊

Nice👍👍💞

[@imsleepingbeauty]

I always feel bad when I see them at the fish market stored in buckets with no water and just a bit of ice 🥺 Just because they're gonna get eaten doesn't mean they should suffer.

[@Narko_Marko]

i found a female one buried in sand next to some short grass in Greece. I saw something grey beneath the sand but realized it was a crab because i saw it move its eyes so i touched it with a stick and it wanted to fight me. it was the biggest crab ive ever seen and its the first crab i found since i came here on a vacation.

[@shelbyrice1014]

They can give a real painful pinch!

[@lucpraslan]

There is no decline in the invasive populations in Italy and Corsica unfortunately. There, the crabs are an environmental catastrophe and are eating everything. The seas there have become like deserts.
