Looking for the Horse Crab
After I saw various sightings on Waarneming.nl of the rare Horse crab (Atelecyclus undecimdentatus) in one particular place I ofcourse had to go check them out for myself, or I would not be Crabby Maxie! After a 2.5 hours journey by public transport I arrived at the beach of Wijk aan Zee. I walked to the shoreline and barely found any crabs. So, sort of disappointed I went for a coffee at a beach club, and on the way there spotted my first Horse crab! Turns out I needed to look for them in the furthest floodline! I had the coffee and then walked for about an hour along the floodline. And I was lucky! Four carapace and four claws. I also spotted a lot of parts from Necora puber. Great day & worth the travel!
