It’s a freshwater crab in Butterfly Valley in Rhodes, and yes was fairly near the water, but there were hundreds of them. I must say I wasn’t expecting to find crabs in a wooded valley 15 miles away from the ocean! It was a lovely surprise! 🙂
Thanks Mags – You’ve got to have your eyes open that’s for sure. I was amazed at the numbers of people that just walked past some amazing creatures! Good for me though! 🙂

Is this crab near the water?
Looks like he has accidentally wandered into the woods!!

Nicely taken………
Thanks Mona! 🙂
This made me smile the crab seems to be looking right at you. How in the world did you ever find him in all the leaves? Great picture!
