How is the butter crab formed?

Butter crab used to be a female butter crab. Every summer, mature female cream crabs will live on the shore of shoals when laying eggs. However, a small number of female cream crabs are too obese, resulting in too much cream oil accumulation, which can not complete the process of re-shelling and spawning, and they have been staying on the beach. At this time, the water temperature on the shoal rises due to the fierce sunshine, and the cream crab is stimulated. The crab paste in the crab is decomposed into golden yellow oil, which permeates all parts of the body, making the whole crab full of butter, and the crab body is orange-yellow, and yellow oil can be seen at the joint between the crab cover and claws.
