It's Not Too Late to Help with the Annual Horseshoe Crab Survey

Join the Delaware Center for the Inland Bays for the annual Horseshoe Crab Survey, which takes place select days in May and June when the horseshoe crabs come ashore to spawn hundreds of crab eggs.

I didn't realize until reading more that horseshoe crabs are predominantly found in Delaware, and really not anywhere else.

If you would like to participate in the 2014 Horseshoe Crab Survey, you can contact Team Leaders directly or send an email to habitat@inlandbays.org.

Also, two incredible horseshoe crab facts: they have more in common with spiders than they do with crabs and they can go a year (a year!) without eating.
