Field Notes

Description:

About the size of my hand - have seen them bigger. This is just the shell. Those big legs at the front look like lobster pincers.

Habitat:

Lives in one of the bedrooms

Notes:

like to come out at night I have found. During the day in dark places. Look scarey but I think they are harmless.
