“Crab on the rocky shore”

On the summer coast. The tide is low and rocky areas are appearing. A crab with a body that looks like a rock passes quickly. This kind of crab has a variety of shell pattern. As soon as the crab notices my existence, it hides behind the rock.  [JULY 2021]

Gaetice depressus

からだの模様がさまざまある、ヒライソガニ。磯に住むちいさなカニです。干潮時に潮だまりをのぞくと出会います。こちらに気づくと、すぐに岩陰に隠れてしまいます。
