Field Notes

Description:

I saw these homes on the ground. They were numerous in number. I included a picture of the surrounding habitat too. i found tons of fiddler crabs a little faraway ,though not exactly around the holes. Should I connect the two and assume that these could be fiddler crab homes?

Here's a guide to help you ID. http://www.pcbeachmosquito.org/EntGuides/EntGuide10.pdf That could help you figure out if the holes were in the right habitat for the crabs in your sighting or if they belong to a different species.
