A VARIETY OF CRABS



A VARIETY OF CRABS 
Crabs attract their partners through their chemical (pheromones), visual, acoustic, or vibratory resources. Most crabs that live in the sea use pheromones, while terrestrial and semi terrestrial crabs often use visual signals, the fiddler crab males wave their large claws to attract females. (‘Hi, here I am, come and get me’) rather like the a twenty-something male on the dance floor)

Crabs are prepared and eaten as a dish in many different ways, some species are even eaten whole, including the shell, such as soft-shell crab; with other species just the claws or legs are eaten. 

Do have pepper crab when you are in Singapore. Enjoying crab is a delicious yet messy process however restaurants do provide disposable aprons.

The Kapsiki people of North Cameroon use the way crabs handle objects for divination.
