Searching for Lepidothelphusa sangon (red mountain crab) on rainy day (在雨天尋找紅螃蟹)

Another new species of Lepidothelphusa mountain crab from a mountain in Sarawak! This is one of the most beautiful mountain crabs that I ever seen!!! Like most of the land/mountain crabs, it is endemic to a small mountain in western Sarawak. (Note: It is now known as Lepidothelphusa sangon.)

This Lepidothelphusa sangon mountain crab is not the one that I found in misty mountain on the other day but it is from another new location in Sarawak. Most of them are very small in size but very colourful!
