Marsh Crab - Aratus pisonii

Marsh Crab - Aratus pisonii
St. Petersburg, Pinellas County, Florida, USA
March 31, 2012
Size: Approx. 2.5"
Would it be possible to create a Guide Page for "Mangrove Tree Crab - Aratus pisonii". I sighted this little crab on a walkway in a mangrove swamp at about 8:00 AM. Quite shy and fast I was lucky to get this photo.
