EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable sight of a Common shore crab (Carcinus maenas) carrying eggs on the underside of her abdomen. The intricate details showcased in this image highlight the beauty and complexity of nature's reproductive processes. The Common shore crab, found along coastlines worldwide, possesses an astonishing ability to produce up to 185,000 eggs. This particular species is known for its adaptability, thriving in various habitats and tolerating a wide range of water salinity and temperature.
