Crabby Convention - Spider Crabs Take Over the Shallow Waters of Burton Bradstock!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo print, nature photographer Alex Mustard captures a truly extraordinary sight off the coast of Dorset, UK. It's an underwater gathering like no other - an aggregation of spider crabs (Maja squinado) in all their crustacean glory! These fascinating arthropods have come together in large numbers, forming a mesmerizing circle that seems straight out of a marine fairy tale. With their intricate exoskeletons and spindly legs, these spider crabs create a spectacle that is both eerie and enchanting. As they congregate for their annual moulting ritual, it's as if these crabs are holding an underwater conference to discuss the latest trends in crab fashion or perhaps debating who has the best dance moves on the ocean floor. The English Channel provides the perfect backdrop for this mass gathering, with its temperate waters and abundant marine life. It's no wonder these charismatic creatures chose this spot to showcase their social skills! So dive into this incredible snapshot from 2020VISION and let your imagination run wild as you envision what secrets lie within this mysterious underwater world. Just be careful not to get caught up in their web of fun!
