September 24, 2021

I am known as a Blue Land Crab, 
I'm the largest semi-terrestrial crab in Florida
You can see my eye stalks bob-bobbing along
As I walk sideways down the corridor.

(Note: This entry is dedicated to my family and friends in Boston who will think it rhymes perfectly.)

Location: St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park, Fellsmere
