Bar-Eye Hermit Crab (Dardanus fucosus) – Blue Heron Bridge, Riviera Beach, Fl
I never see photos of Hermits from above, probably because it simply does not capture the majority of the animal. For this shot, I wanted to slip up and over the crab to look down, shining my bright focus light like a UFO from the skies. This crab stared up at me from behind its shell as if I was an alien spaceship as I stared down at it, admiring how alien this angle made this familiar crab appear.
