Moved, Pachygrapsus crassipes
Moved from True Crabs. I've filled in the county here and elsewhere. If you're unsure what the county is you can always look it up online. In this case it happens to be an easy one (same name as the city.) Thanks for these crustacean submissions. I'm not sure if the hermit crab has ID potential but I'll see if I can make any headway with my limited knowledge of the West Coast fauna. A clear picture of the claws would be very useful. Any other images you have, especially of species not yet in the guide, would be very much appreciated.

Thanks Brandon for moving these back into the guide. It's a lesser known section for sure but still attended to!

not an insect
however, this critter is a crustacean and not within the scope of this guide.
