Mating Dungeness Crabs
A pair of mating dungeness crabs (Cancer magister). The male will often grasp the female in an embrace for weeks waiting for her to molt when her shell will be soft enough to receive the male's gonopods. After mating he will embrace her for protection. Image made off Vancouver Island, BC, Canada.
