After our crustacean visitor earlier in the week we went out crab spotting in the woods near us. We found loads and some were twice the size of our friend. So we wonder how big land crabs got and how common they are.

As for the latter 90% of the island is swampy forest so we reckons 100s of thousands to millions.

How big?

​​This big!this chap was nearly a foot wide I caught him on the way home from work tonight. I expect he is quite big but I bet they get bigger. Good eating apparently!

But we let him go to live another day.
