Looking at them up close really shows off their resemblance to crabs and lobsters.

what is that though? Does it have a common name?

Oh my lord!! What is that?! It's amazing! And a little horrifying! :D
Look at the spines on those palps... even the spines have spines! :no: (well, they're probably more like bumps, but still ^^;) That's just cool beyond words. And the lighting and 'crowded out' composition (there's probably a term for that but I don't know it) really make this a dramatic photo-- with no reference for size, or even a good, reassuring look at the whole thing to allow you to go "Oh, it's just a scary looking scorpion (or whatever it is)", this creature may very well have just crawled from the pits of hell :D Excellent :salute:

at first I thought it was a crab of some kind until you gave its common name away. and we all thought all those monsters were in Hollywood ;)

great shot
