One of many hermits that live in our back yard. It was going to rain heavily so he climbed a tree after investigating our porch.

We are on a small island. I guess, technically they are still by the ocean :)

I always thought that all hermit crabs live in or by the ocean. Another new discovery for me. Thank you very much.
