This crab's coloring makes it easy to see how it earned that particular nickname - bright shades of orange & purple contrasted with black. In the wild, it's found near coastal Pacific Ocean rainforests in the vicinity of Mexico and Panama. It can be kept as an exotic pet as well. They're also known as the Moon Crab, Halloween Moon Crab, Purple Moon Crab, Harlequin Crab, & a few other names.
It's Valloween weekend! Last Thursday was a snowy day here in western Washington state, so my partner & I felt like having a Throwback Thursday 80s/90s kid nostalgia night for ourselves, with fish sticks & curly fries for dinner and a classic Ernest movie: Ernest Scared Stupid.
Confession time: I had never seen this movie before last night.
I grew up in a family that loved all the Ernest movies, the Ernest TV show, etc. - but somehow, I only managed to see Ernest Goes to Camp and Ernest Saves Christmas.
"I'll send 'em a nice card!" 😂😂😂
Eartha Kitt as Francis "Old Lady" Hackmore was absolutely amazing & over the top in the best way possible. She was so immersed in that role that I didn't even know it was her at first - mind=blown. How the hell did they get someone like her to be in an Ernest movie??
"Oooh, Charades? I love Charades!"
And, just in time for Valentine's Day - "Does that include the giant album with every troll love song ever written?"
