Fiddler crab

With things returning slowly to something approaching the old normal, I was actually able to hazard a face-to-face appointment with my cardiology team, and while I won't know the details of my latest echocardiogram, I felt comfortable enough, after the lengthy procedure was over, to visit the nearby Stewart McKinney National Wildlife Refuge and hike the trails in search of... well, everything and anything. My goal, if I could be said to have one, was to try to spot Seaside Dragonlets, odonates that thrive in salt marshes, but I was apparently too early. However, I was right on time to spot a small horde of Fiddler Crabs that were now emerging from their burrows and using their oversized right claws to intimidate rivals, defend territories, and impress females with their fatherhood potential. There are times when size truly matters. This is one such example.
