Horned Ghost Crab

角眼沙蟹

Ocypode ceratophthalmus

1/1

Name comes from being nocturnal and having a pale apperance.

名字源於牠的夜行性和蒼白的身體顏色

Very agile, making them hard to spot. However, it may leave numerous footprints and pebbles outside its burrow on the coasts as evidence of their presence.

海岸上的沙洞外常有無數腳印及和泥團，可能是角眼沙蟹出沒的證據，但牠們非常敏捷，很難被發現。

Unlike the Buddhist Crab, both sexes of this species have horned eyes. However, males have a more prominent pair of "horns".

與角眼拜佛蟹不同，雄性、雌性的角眼沙蟹都有角眼，而雄性有一對更突出的「角」
