Horseshoe Crab (Limulus polyphemuys).

Horseshoe crabs belong to the phylum Arthropoda and are actually more closely related to spiders than other marine invertebrates. They are one of the most primitive groups of animals, surviving relatively unchanged for hundreds of millions of years, and their natural history is one fascinating chapter in the story of evolution.

These ancient creatures possess ten eyes which are especially useful during the full moon when they move onto the beach by the thousands to mate. Their sensory perception is the focus of much current research, as are several unique physiological qualities which make them a valuable subject to biomedical science.

Superbly detailed signed print by local artist Tamara Clark.

Supplied mounted, backed, wrapped and with details about the subject and artist on the back.
