You might not know it, but we share a lot more in common with invertebrates than we think… and that includes horseshoe crabs! From our interactions with friends to being a little clumsy, horseshoe crabs can be pretty #relatable. Horseshoe crabs are some of the oldest creatures on Earth, having been around since before the dinosaurs! After hundreds of millions of years, they’ve evolved very little and are often called “living fossils.” While they’re called crabs, they’re actually arthropods and are more closely related to scorpions and spiders. Feeling a connection to these silly swimmers? Visit Butterfly Pavilion today to meet several of our horseshoe crabs in the touch tank! Plan your visit at the link in our bio.
