<br /> <p>Normally spider crabs don’t migrate to the southern Australian coast until May-July</a>, but the summer of love came early for these two crabs who formed a mating pair near Melbourne on March 4.</p><p>PT Hirschfield told Storyful, “Out of the hundreds of thousands of spider crabs in Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne, this little guy has found the girl of his dreams! … So he’s decided to carry her around until [she] [ moults</a>] … Sort of like Uber for spider crabs – the ULTIMATE Taxi Crab!”.</p><br /><p>Female spider crabs only mate after moulting, and male crabs often protect their mates until that happens.
