Love is in the Air. . . and on the Sand! Atlantic horseshoe crabs invade Delaware Bay for a romantic rendezvous!". In this snapshot, nature's most peculiar love story unfolds as thousands of amorous Atlantic horseshoe crabs storm the shores of New Jersey. With high tide as their cue, these enchanting crustaceans emerge from the depths to find their one true mate.
