| 12 February 2025: Due to family commitments and work, I have been unable to update this website and realise it is long overdue for an update. I will start updating the different pages as an overhaul after a long decade hiatus, especially considering how its focus and niche on the Internet will change. |

| In addition to English, I can also communicate in standard Chinese and Korean. Although I cannot promise I will have time to translate the entire website into Chinese and Korean eventually, I am happy to assist you in Chinese or Korean if you leave a message in the Forums. |

Compound eyes Hermit crabs have eyes that are highly sensitive to the movement of others, such as predators. Hermit crabs seem to think that people have compound eyes too. Consequently, they stay still when their owner approaches, thinking that their owner cannot see them. |
Straight antennae pair These antennae are used for touch, similar to how humans touch objects with their fingers. |
Bent antennae pair These antennae are used for taste-testing. |
Modified gills These extract oxygen from water vapour, allowing the hermit crab to live on land, as long as the air is humid. |
