I can’t stop staring at this fucking thing

I’m horrified and yet it’s so intriguing

what the fuck

They’re actually completely harmless. I’ve seen people pick them up and put their clawed side down to their faces. They don’t even pinch hard enough to hurt you! The flappy part under there are their gills, the flappy part is how they swim, upside down and with claws doing the back stroke. But on land they’re pretty much wiggling bait for gulls.

tldr – Horseshoe crabs are one of the most pathetic species on this planet even if they look like a facehugger from the Alien franchise wearing a funny hat.

I love horseshoe crabs ;0; totally harmless neato ancient arthopods babs.

All they wanna do is scuttle along the sand and nibble things and occasionally give the boys the piggyback ride of love. ❤

yessss, and their eyes are on top of their bodies so in this gif the poor thing was so confused. He’s just like why cant i fucking swim where the fuck is the water.

I keep moving my things and nothing is happening where the hell am I in limbo?! Fuck I’m gonna be eaten don’t just stand there help a Limulidae out here!
