Playing Fiddle
Species: Uca demani typhoni
The fiddler crab is keeping a watchful eye on me while busy feeding itself. The common English name, fiddler crab, comes from the manner in which male crabs feed; male crabs move their small claw from the ground to their mouth, causing them to resemble someone sweeping a bow (the small claw) across a fiddle (the large claw).
