Ocypode quadrata? - Ocypode quadrata
Myrtle Beach, Horry County, South Carolina, USA
August 19, 2015
This was a crab I found at the beach, they were pretty common on the beach at night, very fast and pretty small, I only saw ones that were under 1.5" It looks like a Ocypode quadrata to me but I don't know much about crabs.
