The Purple-Clawed Crab

in #macrophotography8 years ago (edited)


A crab that has a purple claw goes into the water. Her left eye coming out of the cranial cavity was visibly monitoring the location. Four left legs gripped the rock strongly. While the four right legs have been drowned in the water. Crab, living in shallow waters with the dominant brown color. The only strange thing about this crab is its purple claws. The rest, this crab is a regular brackish water crab.

Another difference is the crab claws, which are smaller than other crab claws. I tried as close as I could to shoot the crab. Unfortunately, the crab of purple-choped fled into a small hole under a rock.

My attention was then fixed on the same type of crab in the region. However, I did not find any more crabs whose purple claws were like that. In fact, there is one crab carcass that is also not purple.

I photographed this crab in Lambada Lhok, Aceh Besar, Aceh. At that time I was doing a hunt with @vannour and @arfa. We found many interesting objects in the small two-hour expedition. My friends, @vannour and @arfa, managed to photograph the variety of bird species that have habitat in the mangrove forest. While I am more interested in small objects on the coast of Aceh.[]



Seekor kepiting yang memiliki capit berwarna ungu masuk ke dalam air. Mata kirinya yang keluar dari rongga tengkorak terlihat memonitor lokasi. Empat kaki kirinya mencengkeram karang kuat-kuat. Sementara empat kaki kanan telah tenggelam di air. Kepiting, demikian manusia menamakan hewan ini. Hidup di perairan dangkal dengan warna coklat dominan. Satu-satunya hal yang aneh pada kepiting ini adalah warna capitnya yang ungu. Selebihnya, kepiting ini adalah kepiting air payau biasa.

Hal berbeda lainnya adalah capit kepiting, yang ukurannya lebih kecil dibandingkan capit kepiting lainnya. Saya mencoba sedekat mungkin untuk memotret kepiting tersebut. Namun, sayang sekali, kepiting bercapit ungu itu melarikan diri ke dalam lubang sempit di bawah batu.

Perhatian saya kemudian tertuju pada kepiting berjenis sama di kawasan ini. Namun, saya tidak menemukan lagi kepiting yang capitnya berwarna ungu seperti tadi. Bahkan, ada satu bangkai kepiting yang ada di sana juga tidak bercapit ungu.

Saya memotret kepiting ini di kawasan Lambada Lhok, Aceh Besar, Aceh. Saat itu saya sedang melakukan perburuan bersama @vannour dan @arfa. Kami menemukan banyak objek menarik dalam ekspedisi kecil yang berlangsung selama dua jam itu. Teman-teman saya, @vannour dan @arfa, berhasil memotret ragam jenis burung yang memiliki habitat di hutan manggrove. Sementara saya lebih tertarik dengan objek kecil di pesisir Aceh.[]
