sealord > The velvet swimming crab, Necora puber, is called a lady crab in Guernsey.  These red-eyed crabs are fast moving and aggressive except during copulation when couples can be touched without any reaction.  Necora puber lives under boulders and cobbles and will quickly move away when a stone is turned over.  This individual was under a cobble in the cobble field to the east of what I call 'overhang gully' at La Valette on Guernsey's east coast.  Photographed on the 29 April 2006.
