I’ve just returned from Costa Rica, and hope to regale WEIT readers with further reports, but we’ll begin with a “spot the ____”. This is from Playa Pan Dulce, near the tip of the Osa Peninusla in southwestern Costa Rica.
Spot the crab!

Half way down, slightly right of middle next to the white stone
Yes, and much bigger than you think it’s going to be.
Dead center.
A lovely very cryptic crab. I will not give away the location so it is fun for others to find.

Very good camo. Reminds of crabs I’ve seen at Ft. Walton Beach, on the Gulf Coast of Florida near Eglin AFB.
The sand is white as snow and so are the crabs, except for their eyes. If you try to look for crabs you’d be hard pressed to see them. Usually you only see them when your eye catches the movement, when they decide to move, of their dark eyes floating just above the surface of the sand like a Star Wars landspeeder.
I haz crabs … cryptic crab.
easy peasy
Easy to spot, but I do appreciate its very good camouflage.
Nice one!
Yeah, easy, but still excellent camo! I looks like it’s about to attack the photographer.
found it, and its beady eyes
and sub…
If I were strolling down the beach, I would probably miss it.
… unless it moved.
But anyway, took me about three seconds. It’s well camouflaged but the background is not sufficiently confusing to hide it well.
And sub.
