It’s hump day again! And there is no need to be “crabby”! Sure life can be a real beach, but you can collect my work and get happy for a lot less than you think! Get a gorgeous 8×10 of my “Colorful Crab” for less than 25.00 clams and that includes S/H!

No not “those” kind! But now that I’ve gotten your attention, let’s take a look at this strange looking ocean creature. Crabs are decapods (ten legs) crustaceans (their skeleton is on the outside) and arthropods (they have segmented legs). Interesting FACTS:
If a crab loses a claw, it will grow back.
Males grow one larger claw. It’s purpose is to impress female crabs rather than for attack or defense.
A crab’s teeth are in its stomach.
Crabs can be carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores.
Crabs can also be cannibals and will sometimes feed on weaker crabs of the same species.
There are 6,793 species of crabs divided into 93 families.
King Crabs are not considered true crabs. Neither are Hermit, Porcelain, or Horseshoe Crabs.
We began on a light note, so we might as well end on one too. 🙂
Man walks into a restaurant and says, “Do you server crabs here?”
The hostess replies, “We serve everyone. Have a seat.”

Stone Rock’d that is…..I just cannot seem to get rid of these crabs! Growing up in Florida, crabs have always been a big part of my life. As a child I romped freely on Siesta Key Beach in Sarasota Florida. Crabs would often come ashore and I was completely fascinated. The little fiddler crabs were great fun to watch scurry about, but Stone Crabs are especially interesting because they have one claw that is significantly larger than the other. Funny looking creatures. A gourmet delight in many restaurants they are ecologically sustainability harvested here just for their claws. These guys can regrow their claws so when the fishermen take one it grows back. How cool is that! I found it both amusing and fitting to Stone Rock a stone crab…I love to paint and create and there is no end to inspiration on our planet! The shape for this crab was inspired by a vintage Stone Crab plate…..Learn more about my crab art here:
