- About the Sally Lightfoot Crab
Crabs belong to subphylum crustaceans, including lobsters, shrimps, crayfish, prawns, krill, woodlice, and barnacles.
And Grapsus grapsus is one of the most common crabs found frequently along the coast of subtropical and tropical America, Africa, and Chie on the intertidal rocks. It is also known as the red rock crab, but more commonly known as the sally lightfoot crab and got its name from of its quick mobility, And it belongs to the Grapsidae family.
Predominantly feeds on algae using their spoon-shaped tipped pincers but they're not also that picky about their food, they just graze on whatever nature’s available menu is served.
This crab runs with extraordinary speed and agility along the upright sides of rocks and has the uncanny ability to hide away in crevices to escape predation.
They are mainly solitary but can also be seen in large congregations competing for food and mates.
And males can mate multiple females by depositing sperms in the female's spermathecae while the female carries the eggs underneath their abdomen, until the time they are ready to hatch.

Excelente trabajo muy dedicado en lo que haces hermano
Soñé con ser científico o biólogo cuando era joven pero no lo logré, así que ahora; por medio del arte perseguiré continuamente ese sueño y lo compartiré con ustedes y con el mundo entero. Muchas gracias mi hermano.
Ombeee mi hermano así es, hago parte del gremio científico a través de la matemática y la física. Pero la naturaleza siempre ha sido mi inspiración. Así que cada uno de nosotros generamos nuestro aporte y el arte es lo mejor.
I like it a lot I have made one two!
