Can you find the tiny crab, whose coloring matches the large grains of sand of this beach on the north shores of Kauai?
I saw this tiny crab, about the size of a grape, skittering across the loose sand of a beach on the north shore of the island of Kauai in Hawaii. When the crab stopped, the crab was hard to spot. I don’t know what kind of crab it is. Possibly a ghost or a sand crab. Does anyone know?
Here’s a closer look at the tiny crab that I saw skittering across the loose sand of a beach on the north side of Kauai. When the crab stopped moving, I could barely see it.

Looks like what a ghost would look like, nearly invisible! Nice photo, and attuned senses.

Thanks, Mike. I couldn’t find any photos online that looked like this crab, but it does seem to blend in like a ghost.

I had a hard time finding and focusing on the crab after it stopped. Most of my crab photos were blurry, too.
