Blue Crabs on Mudflats - Coastal Ecosystem Insight #3321294 (License: Personal Use)

The image captures two adult blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus) on a damp, silty tidal flat, likely during low tide. Their carapaces are dusted with fine sediment, and their chelipeds display the species’ signature electric blue and orange-red coloration. Scattered shell fragments and organic debris suggest recent foraging or predation activity in this productive estuarine zone.
