#sea life
This Hermit Crab can live 30 to 70 years. It can become a large as a coconut. It lives in a shell, and honestly, I find it a bit creepy.
The joys of cruising provide many opportunities to find creepy, crawly creature. This one was crossing our hiking path and I couldn’t resist taking a photo, that is after I convinced my niece to pick up the creature.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds hermit crabs to be a bit creepy. I don’t know why, as the seem to have a nifty system worked out. Maybe because they take over someone else’s lodging, once the original occupant has moved on …
Really great shot though. 🙂

I don’t think you could have convinced me to pick it up. Glad your niece was willing. I agree that they’re rather creepy looking.

My niece was happy to pick it up for the photo, so I didn’t have to!
