Ovalipes ocellatus : ウィキペディア英語版 | Ovalipes ocellatus
''Ovalipes ocellatus'' is a species of crab from eastern North America, known as the ''lady crab'', ''calico crab'' (not to be confused with ''Hepatus epheliticus'') or ''ocellated crab''. It has a shell long and only slightly wider, which is covered in clusters of purple spots. It occurs from Canada to Georgia, and lives mainly on molluscs, such as the Atlantic surf clam. ==Description== The carapace of ''O. ocellatus'' is slightly wider than long, at wide,〔 and long.〔 This distinguishes it from other crabs in the family Portunidae, which often have elongated lateral spines.〔 The carapace is yellow-grey〔 or light purplish,〔 with "leopardlike clusters of purple dots",〔 and 3–5 spines along the edge behind each eye.〔 ''O. ovalipes'' is almost identical to ''O. floridanus'', which lives in the Gulf of Mexico, but can be separated from the sympatric ''O. stephensoni'' by the purple spots, which ''O. stephensoni'' lacks.
