superphylum:

Family Limulidae

  • Found in Southern and Eastern Asia, as well as the Atlantic coast and Gulf of Mexico in North America. 
  • They vary in length between 13-20 inches long with shells 7-12 inches wide. Size depends on gender, as females are much larger than males. 
  • Foragers as well as predators, they will feed on carrion scraps and algae, but will also hunt small clams, crustaceans, and worms. 
  • The crabs come ashore to breed in large clusters, after which females can lay up to 120,000 eggs in batches of a few thousand at a time. 
  • While they look ferocious, Horseshoe crabs are completely harmless. Their tails are NOT stingers, but instead used for righting themselves when flipped over. Their only means of defense are their hard outer shells. 
  • Often classified as Near Threatened due to water pollution, coastal destruction, and over-harvesting for their blood and for use as bait. 
  • Extra fact: Horseshoe crabs are often captured and have their blood collected due to its unique property of clotting in the prescence of certain toxins. It is used in the process of testing many medical products.

Okay, a little about me. I am Acro - 21-year old female, heteroromantic asexual, artist / amateur scientist [specifically regarding biology], and violin mantis person. Majoring in anthropology. I also like to represent myself with something that is essentially an anthropomorphic, okapi-themed lamp, for no reason other than it's fun.


I sometimes post art I've done. I like invertebrates, natural oddities, surreal / fantasy-type art, robots, guys without faces / with partly obscured faces, and things that have a somewhat old-fashioned vibe to them, among other things, so expect to see a bit of that around. Fandoms I post about / reblog include BBC Sherlock, Doctor Who, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Avatar: the Legend of Korra, Shane Acker's 9, Harry Potter, Transformers: Prime / MTMTE / misc. other continuities, and sprinklings of others here and there. I also reblog things about feminism and gender / sexual identities and other debate-sparking topics, so if that kind of thing annoys you then here's your warning before you hit the "follow" button.
