Giraffe Crab AKA Hepatus EpheliticusBeach Adventures

Has anyone else ever seen this type of crab before on the Outer Banks? Β As I was exploring the beaches this weekend with the pups, I came across three of these “giraffe crabs,” proper name is “Hepatus Epheliticus.” Β I was so intrigued by their markings! Β A little giraffe crab πŸ™‚
