Time comes for us all.
We found this dead horseshoe crab on the beach today. It had a numbered tag on its shell apparently put there by The Maryland Fish & Wildlife Conservation Office. I’ve seen many horseshoe crabs here over the years, but never one with a tag. I made sure to go to the website and log it.
That’s how long the species has existed. They live ~25 years.
