Ayuyu -- Coconut Crab.




Check out Guahan's largest spider! 

No, that's an Ayuyu...also known as a Coconut Crab.  My mom and step-dad caught this really nice ayuyu in the barn shack this morning.  Since they can't eat it.  I claimed it for mine.  LOL...  We, mainly me, will raise it up until it's bigger.  I have a nice strong bird cage to put this crab in tomorrow.  It's in my kennel at the moment.  Which is not strong enough to hold it.  Need to make a very strong cage.  These crabs are smart, strong, and know how to get out of weak cages. 

Since one was caught in the barn shack.  I'm going to have to put out coconut traps in the next couple of days to draw out more ayuyu.  They are one of many Chamorro Delicacies.
