How popular crab memes amplify mistaken ideas about evolution.
Opinion piece from @SciAm: "Memes about repeated evolution of crabs have been co-opted to joke about technology and 'ultimate forms.' They’re hilarious, but they oversimplify natural variation, giving bad arguments a scientific veneer."

'Crabs Dream of Flight' is an image I found on the coast of the #Daintree region of North #Queensland
Crabs create these little balls when filter feeding - picking out all the good bits between the sand granules. It's not every day they make pictures though!
Five new keychain designs are now available on my website!
Discover them here
They’re all hand sewn and embroidered on vibrant, high-quality felt!
I currently have 5 of each in stock

When you are wading in shallow water and suddenly see a crab staring at your delicate little toes, it can be very distracting.

So apparently, Chiko-chan will scold you, a Japanese quiz show focused on a certain topic... that pertains to the state symbol in Maryland... Crabs
As to why crabs are expensive. Well, the segment explains some reasons why:
- Crab population drop
- Crabs depending on the type takes 5-10 years to grow to a big size
- Crabs are cannibalistic, they eat their babies and even other, making it difficult to farm. There was an attempt to farm them, but the population from that attempt only bought 22% in the 2nd year, from the dismal 7% from the first, far from the 60% surival rate
With that, the reason crabs are expensive is that the cannibalize each other.
