Description
Sanibel Island, Florida ...
For many, the horseshoe crab is a childhood acquaintance, first introduced by a fierce-looking shell on a sandy beach.
For ecologists, the horseshoe is an important creature - a vastly adaptable generalist that pre-dates most species on the planet, with a lifecycle that is interlocked with other animals.
For the scientist, the limuli are an intriguing puzzle, offering insights into evolution, bacteria, vision and species- interdependence.

We used to help them back to the water in Key West when I was a child, I don't think I've seen a dozen since...such amazing creatures...
