Ocypode quadrata Atlantic Ghost Crab |
| The Atlantic Ghost Crab is a very common species on the beaches of northeast Florida where it lives in burrows well above the high tide line. Although the crab itself is seldom seen during daylight hours, the round shaped entrances to its burrows and and the tracks it leaves in the sand are quite conspicuous. |
