Notice the 3 main body parts: the prosoma (the front horseshoe shape), the opisthosoma (middle), and the telson (tail). People mistake the telson for a weapon, but it is actually used as a rudder for steering, and to help right itself if it gets flipped over. NEVER, never, never pick up a live horeseshoe crab by its telson.
I am featuring my pages related to places on the website until spring break, but I was working on my horseshoe crab page today and was so pleased with how it is shaping up that I wanted to share it. Have a look and tell me what you think? Is there anything you would like to see added? Or is it too much?
