Not-so-unpleasant surprise !

From time to time I get startled by these Lil crabs. Normally they appear from a hidden spot and land on a bare foot or hand . Due to the fact that they appear to be spider at first sight ( and feel), and the times they land on me are during "exciting" circumstances, I never fail to jump about a foot up and back with a choice swear word or two, before realizing " Oh ! it's just a crab!"
Which is followed by the relieved feeling that comes after knowing the crab isn't a spider and its not going to try to chew your hand off and suck out all your blood! 
Here is what they look like!

It just so happens that this is the kind of crab that they dragonfly was crunching away at when I last visited with Glenn and Joann Dean!
