May 26 - Japanese Spider Crab

Sacre bleu, what is zis?
How on earth could I miss
Such a sweet little succulent crab?

~ Les Poissons - The Little Mermaid

The Japanese spider crab is the largest in the world, with a leg span that can stretch over 12 feet.  It's basically all leg - the daddy-longlegs of the crab world? 

This design is from the Isopresso YouTube collection.  This was one of the more difficult balloons to photograph, I had the idea to present it like a museum specimen or a bug-collection pin board just to tame the unruly legs when building the second time, but didn't add pins for obvious reasons ...
