Comments This individual had speckling on its carapace and blended well with the rocky outcroppings it scampered to hide on. Others further down the beach individuals were a solid grey color, matching the fist sized rocks they were hiding under. Swift moving. Sizes varying from 1 to 2 inches (excluding antenna and tail). Identification by Aaron Baldwin.
