Fiddler Crab

On most beaches in Florida, a short walk reveals hundreds of fiddler crabs that go into hiding as you approach them. They burrow in the sand and retreat quickly when they feel threatened. To get this picture I had wait several minutes for this little guy him to "come out" of his hole in the sand. It is evident from his defensive posture, that he isn't quite sure he likes me or the camera I was pointing at him.

I used the Tamron 300 mm lens on the macro setting to capture this close-up.
