It was in spring when the horseshoe crab migration began. Slowly crawling along the seafloor they make their way to shore to lay their eggs.
As the sun sets beneath the horizon, thousands of horseshoe crabs slowly crawl onto the beach in pairs, one male and one female. The female burrows into the sand to lay her eggs while the male tags behind to fertilize them. The female digs several nests and drop clutches of her eggs in each nest. Each night, the horseshoe crabs repeat the routine to lay more eggs.
