No one knows why these crabs were given the name Sally Lightfoot.

They are ubiquitous in the Galapagos.

The colours really are as vivid as shown - the only processing I have done is to sharpen a little.

Re: Sally Lightfoot

Colourful crabs (even fish) are supposed to be poisonous & it is a sort of "warning sign" to say "keep off".
