red crab
Crimson shore scuttler
Red crab refers to several species of crab with reddish coloring, most famously the Christmas Island red crab, known for its annual mass migration when millions move from forest to coast to breed.
The term also applies to various edible crabs sold commercially.
The red crabs covered the road so thickly that cars couldn't pass.
