Blue Crab Traveling On

Young Portunidae, tiny paddles, rotating full speed; your motor blades, making waves. Sun-radiated psychedelic, dyed waves glinting; shimmering liquid Crayola color box are the waters mirroring your elegance. Note: The lovely Blue Crab is a member of the family of crabs known as the Portunidae; a swimming crab with hind legs similar to paddles. They are caught and eaten in many places. Often they are crushed or killed by passing cars, as they feed on mangrove leaves. Now they face possible extinction. https://chesapeakebay.noaa.gov/fish-facts/blue-crab
