Continued Reflections from my world.

Nature records, places visited and things seen.

A home on the roam.

Posted on July 14, 2021 by Andy Finnegan

Hermit crabs live inside empty sea snail shells, As they grow, hermit crabs move into ever larger shells. I guess when we are out and about we are a bit like the Hermit crab!

I spotted this one at low tide on Meon Shore near Southampton.

  They are well worth looking out for while on the coast at low tide.

I’ve heard of hermit crabs and seen pictures, but never saw how they crawl in and out of the shell. If that crab has ears, when it heard the screeching birds, it would crawl right back in again where it was quiet.

    I was fascinated by the video and how it just crawled out. Safe travels Andy.
