We were walking next to the sea wall at Kakaako Waterfront Park the other day when I spotted what looked like a reddish crab scrambling over the rocks.
But wait, I thought, we don’t have any red crabs in Hawaii, so we? As we went in for a closer look, the answer became evident. Especially when I noticed that the crab in question had only four legs.

I am surmising that one of two things happened. Either the crab crawled out of the crevices and died, allowing the sun to bake its shell red. Or, somebody put a boiled crab there.
Still, questions remain … why only four legs? Did some disaster befall the crab before it died? Or if someone put it there, did they pull off and eat the claws and other legs?
Sometimes, mysteries like this just aren’t meant to be solved.
