The crab shell of the little crab is still translucent, and it has long and thin claws, which is very cute.

After the female crab holds the eggs, around February to March every year, the baby crabs will leave their mother's arms and become daphnia-like larvae. During the 20 days of the daphniform larvae, the little crab will continue to shed its shell five times until it grows to a size of about 5 mm.

After the 20-day molting journey, the little crab officially enters the big-eyed larval stage. The little crab at this stage is more like a transparent spider. In the early stage, it will also have a small tail. When held in the hand, it looks like a handful of sand at first glance.

In March-April, the baby crabs will grow into the first stage of juvenile crabs. Juvenile crabs are the cutest period of their lives. After five molts, their little tails will disappear. The oval crab shell remains translucent and has long and thin claws, which is very cute.

Introduction to crabs:

Crabs are crustaceans whose bodies are protected by a hard shell and breathe through gills. The body is divided into a cephalothorax and abdomen. There are 1st and 2nd pairs of antennae in the center of the forehead, and compound eyes with stalks on the outside. The mouthparts include 1 pair of large jaws, 2 pairs of small jaws and 3 pairs of maxillopods. There are 5 pairs of thoracopods on both sides of the cephalothorax, and the abdomen is degenerated and curved on the ventral surface of the cephalothorax.
