When I was a fledgling, I spent a lot of time on the beaches of Cape Cod, hovering over tidal pools and looking for critters. On the shoreline, in the damp sand, I did a lot of digging and would sometimes uncover strange, purple-pink ovoids that flailed around on their profusion of legs before playing dead in my talons. I never really knew what they were, only that my family called them sand-fleas and I thought they were sorta cute. Fast-forward to the present day, and a biology book, Life Between the Tides<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by Adam Nicolson, has reminded me of their existence. A particular chapter dealt with sand-hoppers<\/a>, but these weren’t the same li’l crustaceans. Vague image searches eventually led me to my prize: mole crabs! Just look at these little cuties!<\/p>\n

Turns out, I haven’t seen them recently because A) I don’t like beaches these days and B) I don’t dig around in nearly enough sand. You know what I notice when my face isn’t buried in the sand? All the great TovH content this week!<\/p>\n
