Atlantic ghost crab

(Ocypode quadrata)

Came across this one (and quite a few more) at Corson's Inlet State Park in New Jersey.

Closeup shot of the crab which is facing the camera. Four cream colored legs on either side of the body with two white claws in front. The eyestalks are black and extend straight up from the head. Sun is from the back, so its strangely shaped shadow can be seen on the sand in the foreground. Small pieces of shell and pebbles can be seen scattered around the area. One tiny green shoot can be seen poking out off the sand in the upper right of the shot.
