''Mictyris longicarpus'', the light-blue soldier crab, is a species of crab that lives on sandy beaches from the Bay of Bengal to Australia; with other members of the genus ''Mictyris'', it is "one of the most loved crabs in Australia". Adults are across, white, with blue on their backs, and hold their claws vertically. They feed on detritus in the sand, leaving rounded pellets of discarded sand behind them. The males may form into large "armies" which traverse the beach at low tide, before the crabs dig into the sand to wait for the next low tide. ==Description== ''Mictyris longicarpus'' is nearly spherical, with an upright body. Its carapace is powder blue, with the rest of the body being white except for purple patches on the joints of the legs.〔 The chelae (claws) are slim and curve downwards, and are held vertically in front of the crab.〔 Given the crab's upright posture, the eyestalks are short.〔 The body is up to across,〔 or "about the size of a cherry".〔
