Very neat indeed, but can someone explain their eyes to me? I am searching for a biologial analogy for them, but I am at a loss. Are they just pads with a zillion light sensors on them...?

Nice post crabby.

Twould explain the irritability.

Tasty little buggers, crabs. and there's tons of spectacular photograhpy at Pbase, boids, for example. Ta, Chy!

"Are they just pads with a zillion light sensors on them...?" Compound eyes, yeah, I think. Like the eyes of the Praying Mantis, they always look like there's a pupil staring in your direction; I think it's some kind of shadow, or you're seeing the refraction of light in the interior, or something. I dunno, I've always assumed it was something like that. I expect caution live frogs or someone with biology smarts to give us the good guts on that.
-
On quick research - yeah it's some form of optical illusion due to the facets in the teeny tiny light sensors all over surface. IF that's what you're referring to.

up the beach the crabby creep and fasten on me like a leech leggo my toes! leggo that finger! must I invite ye home for dinner?
-
I was actually all souped up for a story about pubic lice, so here's an offering.
-
That's not a soup I'd care to sup no matter how ye spice it up.
-
Those are some beautiful pictures, especially the "Paddling" silhouette. RPB, that's a hell of a story. Sounds more like bedbugs than crabs tho'.
-
Gah, RPM, that is.

"All good relationships are boring. The only exciting relationships are bad ones. You never know what's going to happen next in a bad relationship. You never know when you're going to walk in the door and say: 'Hey! You gave me crabs!' That's exciting!" Chris Rock

I saw "I Got Crabs", and thought...yep, I'm not surprised.... Then I read the link.... good job.
-
bedbugs, crabs, giant sloths... What next!
-
Trill- o'-bites ... always, on MoFi ...

They're ADORABLE! There was an Abbey family in our neighborhood; their mailbox bore their last name and the Dad's initials: "K.R.ABBEY."
-
Yea, Bob. I was quite surprised also. I thought for sure it would be the lye and metal brush for our Chy. Who would have known he had a soft spot for crabs?
-
Who doesn't? Mmmmhhh, crabs...
-
I was itching so bad last week I thought I caught crabs so I went to the clinic. The doctor there shakes her head and tells me, "Don't worry about it, it's just Alaska Pollock."
-
Bad jokes make me crabby.
-
Well, at least I avoided the outright pun and went with the subtle pun - not naming anyone in particular, GramMo.
-
HEY! Watch it, Chimpy. You'll go straight to 'eel for sassin' yer GramMo. At least I'm not floundering around trying to get in a bunch of lame puns just for the halibut.
