  2. I don't know why, these made me smile - not just the curious form, I think perhaps also a feeling of awe that even at the age of 55, I am still being rendered speechless and wowed by the world's flora and fauna...the seemingly endless variety and intrigue. Aren't these super little crabs! This is a fantastic photograph of the male with his females. Posted 5 years ago
