The baby crabs are coming back and this year has been the biggest return since like 1995 or something! ( ﾟ▽ﾟ)/ Usually there’s only been smatterings for the longest time but this is a SEA. The buildings down at the Kampong have been inundated and a whole load of the crablets have made it up near the top town parts of the island which hardly anyone has seen in recent memory! :D
So glad they are not spiders lol. Three of them fell from the ceiling (one landed on my head and the others on my laptop). I’ve had to put off this post for a while because i’ve been spotting more of them running around the house and priorities i have to go and throw them outside BEFORE THEY DIE. WHERE THE HECK ARE THEY COMING IN FROM???
Horseshoe crabs can lay between 60,000 to 120,000 eggs. These eggs are laid in the sand or mud in batches of a few thousand at a time, and take 2 weeks to hatch. Many are eaten by seabirds while incubating.
Who run the world? Girls. Especially when you’re today’s #CephOfTheDay, the blanket octopus!
The females of this species are stunningly beautiful and 10,000 times larger than the males! These octos also rip off the tentacles of Portugese Man O'war for defense 🤯
