Brachyura argumenticus
These crabs may be seen crawling with their borrowed aircraft far from the ocean. Due to the scarcity or disappearance of aircraft these days because of financial cuts the crab on the left has found an old plastic cab! Also known as Land Crabs, as their name suggests they live most of the time inland and only return to the sea for a short time to find their sea legs. Some young may become members of the FAA but recently even these have been forced to take up life on dry land due to the loss of their traditional aquatic habitat.
The 'Plastic Cab' appears to be the popular choice for many young crabs. However, as they grow they have to seek out new larger aircraft, the Hercules being a popular choice for the bigger individuals of the species. It can be quite a performance finding an aircraft these days, these being in increasingly short supply, so they quickly move into their new home before fellow cannibalistic crabs, who might well want the same, eat them!
