Female Fiddler Crab
Species: Uca lactea
Fiddler crabs live near water on the mud or sand. They dig 1/2-inch-wide burrows that go almost straight down into the mud. These burrows can reach a foot deep and may hook up with other tunnels and have more than one entrance. They provide crabs with shelter from the sun and predators, and give them a place to stay during high tide.
