There are a lot of things I love about Hawaii. Seeing crabs all over the beaches might be near the top, though. These are mostly cell phone shots. It took a lot of patience to get this close!  This one probably shouldn't have been on the beach.  Such camouflage!  I imagine this lobster looked really cool.  Probably my favourite crab of the trip - those eye stalks are great. It was also extremely shy so I couldn't get a better picture.    This was the cutest crab I spotted.

Bored posted:Lol. Checked that. Not a raccoon. I’m fairly confident it is a squirrel. Speaking of, I need to save this thread cuz I have a few squirrel & bird pics on my phone (can't upload at work  boo)One particular squirrel is a little orange chubster, I've been tossing nuts to him for a couple months now & he's still a little wary of me but will come right up to my glass patio door with me sitting there like "bro, where's the food?"

I don't know how to embed videos, so here's a link! We found a calico crab at Wrightsville beach, NC, and tried to bother him as little as possible while getting video. https://imgur.com/a/dQMCgyj

I went out to the shed and found a dog or something. It was a couple centimeters (at least ten meters) as you can maybe feel from the wood grain.

Here's a non-turkey bird pal. We've got a mated pair of red-tailed hawks here, and this little hawk was right in the middle of their territory today.   It looked like a red-tail, but was only about half the height, more like the size of a peregrine. Those black patches around the eyes aren't shadows - they're actually dark markings. Is this just a weird red-tailed hawk, or something else? (Central CT)

I'm really bad at IDing hawks apart from really distinctive ones like adult red tails and harriers; could maybe be a rough legged hawk? I think they have eye markings like that but usually have a dark chest I think. It doesn't help that lots of hawk species have color morphs also.

Looks like eratigena atrica (stor husedderkop). I had a giant specimen living under some old pots in my shed for a couple of years at my old house. Once I disturbed it and it decided to run off across some old plastic sheet and I could *hear* the footfalls. Huge nope. I ceded that corner of the shed to it until we sold the house and I had to clear it up.

This fine lady overwintered outside my front door right by the light that is on all night. I know it's hard to get scale in this picture, but she is roughly two inches, going by leg length.

I saved up a few critters for the thread. If I'm posting too many boring critters, I don't care, I think they're neat. First little guy has six legs but also a large rear end  Second guy is probably a communist or something, red as gently caress.  Third guy was in my mom's garden and gave zero fucks about me or the cat approaching. He knows what he's got.
