Ocypodid crabs (Ilyoplax pusilla) on Suzushima Island(Suzushima no chigogani)

鈴島のチゴガニ

Dancing on a mudflat

On a mudflat on Suzushima Island, there are many burrows of ocypodid crabs. When the tide is out, they come out of their burrows all at once, eat, and dance, waving their white claws. It is fascinating to see many crabs dancing in the same rhythm.
