Blue Land Crab (Cardisoma guanhumi)

            Blue land crabs, also known as Cardisoma guanhumi, are a fascinating species found along the coastal regions of Florida. These crabs are notable for their striking blue coloration and large size, often reaching up to 6 inches across their carapace. They inhabit burrows in sandy or muddy areas, particularly in mangrove forests and salt marshes. Blue land crabs play a crucial role in their ecosystem, helping to aerate the soil and recycle nutrients. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on a variety of plant materials, but they may also consume detritus and small invertebrates. Their presence is an indicator of a healthy coastal environment, making them an important species for conservation efforts in Florida.
