A Halloween Crab is also known as the Moon Crab, Mouthless Crab or Harlequin Land Crab. It is a colorful crab found in mangrove sand dunes and rainforest along the Pacific coast from Mexico south to Peru. It is a nocturnal crab that digs burrows as long as 1.5 m (5 ft). It lives in the forest at least some of its adult life, but needs to return to the ocean to breed. It has gills that need to be moist all the time (or they die). They have a life span of 10-15 years.Read more: http://www.bukisa.com/articles/50745_the-worlds-most-colorful-crabs#ixzz1u31MrNIf | _MIK0399.jpg |
