Monomad: Those Lucky Hermit Crabs

The weather this afternoon was sunny, and I still had about an hour of free time before picking up my youngest kid from his school. So I used that free time to walk around the Cunda River Estuary. I arrived there when the tide was receding. I walked on the large rocks that break the waves while glancing here and there. I noticed a roll of trawl net piled up with some hermit crabs crawling slowly there. It seemed that the cute creatures were trying to get out of the "devil's net." Maybe they were caught along with the fish. While the fishermen took the fish, those hermit crabs were left alone. They still had a chance to survive. Luckily, they were hermit crabs!
