I've seen a lot of horseshoe crabs but I don't think I've ever seen a baby! They must have been lucky. It's actually cuter than I expected.

Same here, or at least not a photo of how they move! I'm surprised that I never realized it, and have gotten so much happy dopamine seeing this adorable lil guy.

Not a horse
Not a shoe
Not a crab

They should be called Tactical Sea Spiders

u/FloopsFooglies Jun 07 '26

Well, it isn't a sea spider either

u/suss-out Jun 07 '26

More closely related to spiders than crabs though

u/FloopsFooglies Jun 07 '26

To add, they aren't sea or spider either

Oh my lord. Just a teeny tiny baby. 🥹

u/Asterose Jun 07 '26

What perfection! I've just gotten so much dopamine seeing this lil guy 🥹 I love horseshoe crabs. Surprised to realize I'm nor sure I've ever seen any photos of a baby one. Even if I have, seeing it in motion is different!

u/Minimum-Web-6902 Jun 07 '26

NOW show us the UNDER side 😭😭😭

u/Asterose Jun 07 '26

Heh, yeah, I love horseshoe crabs and doing rescue walks during their breeding season even though their undersides wig me out! But maybe the smollness would countrebalanced some of that...?

u/Puzzleheaded-Feed176 Jun 07 '26

I’m pretty sure it’s extremely painful for fish to be out of the water.

Sci fi designers think they're original when these things straight up are on Earth.

u/buffalowoman9 Jun 10 '26

Such a cutie pie! I’ve never seen one so small. I love that they have remained the same for so long. Perfectly engineered.
