Ghost Crab

 

Ghost Crabs are common shore crabs in tropical and subtropical regions throughout the world inhabiting deep burrows in the intertidal zone. They are scavengers and predators of small animals.

The name "ghost crab" derives from their generally pale coloration enabling them to blend in with the sand and the fact they are semi nocturnal.

Well, this concludes our birding trip through Florida. Tomorrow we will start on an Amazon River trip covering some of the wildlife, birds, people and sights of a trip down the Amazon River on a small river boat.
