The crabs have been seen on busy roads and at Nene Park in Peterborough, and filmed in a dyke in Whittlesey.

A trust spokesperson said: "They don't pose any threat to people or dogs, but may give a nip if anything gets too close, so we would advise visitors to keep their distance."

Ladies and Germs, I present to you all the Golden Horseshoe Crab (which I will be nominating as the official crab of the Nu-HotW)...

I like his three little chums as well.

That's a crab? It looks like something from the Cambrian Period.

They have been around for a very long time.

Not quite Cambrian apparently.

Paleozoic.

A mere 440,000,000 years old.


Also, they've not really crabs.

She's just released another video about craps crabs!
