Pattern made from a random smattering of images of my frog crab on a pink background to create a repeat pattern. Many copies of the repeat pattern are shown so there are hundreds of crabs.

May is crab month for #InsertAnInvert2024 🦀 & the first prompt is “true crab.” Time after time shrimp like crustaceans have evolved crablike forms (through a process called carcinization) & do a good job of pretending to be crabs, but this odd looking fellow is the real deal, a true crab. My red frog crab (Ranina ranina), also known as a spanner crab or Huỳnh Đế crab, is hand-printed on Japanese kozo paper. 🧵1/n

The final #printerSolstice prompt is warm colours, so I made an animal in hues of orange and red.

Next block getting carved is a true 🦀

Not one of those false crabs. There’s a process called carcinization where crustaceans keep evolving a crab-like form again and again. So there’s many animals you might swear were crabs, called the such-and-such crab, which aren’t technically crabs. But this one is the real deal. Ranina ranina, the frog crab or spanner crab.
