Picture of the day
by Farlykhalid. Shows Fiddler Crab or Uca (scientific name). Found in mangroves, salt marches etc2. Easily recognised by their distinctively asymmetric claws.
Fiddler crabs communicate by a sequence of waves and gestures;
[2] males have an oversized claw or
cheliped; used in clashes of ritualised combat of courtship over a female and signal their intentions between conspecifics. The movement of the smaller claw from ground to mouth during feeding underlines the crabs' common name; it seems that animal plays the larger claw somewhat like a fiddle. -

One thing for sure. Dont ever underestimate the claws. Nicely taken picture & thanks for the permission to share it with fellow Langkawian.. :)
