The coconut crab ladies and gentlemen the largest arthropod that lives on land. Weight 9 pounds at most, like to hang around trash cans. Found on small insignificant tropical islands in the Pacific. That thing is so creepy yet so cool at the same time.

Coconut crabs are terrifying. The only reason that there haven't been horror movies about them yet is probably that the average viewer is unlikely to believe such a thing could exist unless it came from space, or the bowels of the underworld.

 

I'll leave with this gem from Wikipedia: "Coconut crabs may be responsible for the disappearance of Amelia Earhart's remains, consuming them after her death and hoarding her skeletal remnants in their burrows.".

 

Sounds silly, but they have a source...
