The longest Tuesday & the largest ARTHROPOD!
Reposted from Jo Wolfe, PhD
#CrabAZ never ignores memes. M is for Macrocheira.

This is both the largest arthropod alive (3.8 m or 12 ft leg span, only males are this extreme) and the only living species in its family. Mainly found in Japanese waters up to 600 m depth.

(Yes we know it's Thursday, sorry)
