Crabs first scuttled the shores of Earth over 250 million years ago. Today's crab must adjust to climate change and the global movements of pray species. The Crab is no exception to this rule. In the summer months, The Crab follows schools of sardines, whitebait (see earlier posts) and fillé-o-fish off the coast of Mallorca. During the winter and spring, when the Northern hemisphere is cooler, The Crab slides off to warmer climes and visits friends in the rich feeding grounds of the Caribbean, where he patrols the inter tidal platform, gobbling anything too slow to escape his clammy claws. Below are a series of photographs taken by Marsh (who now operates under a new name) in the British Virgin Islands during March 2009:
