Horseshoe Crabs 

The horseshoe crabs start their breeding season in late May and continue through early July, littering the beaches and sand flats in Charleston and SC.  Horseshoe crabs surface to spawn in great numbers every spring, drawn ashore by full and new moons and when tides are highest. They lay their eggs in the sand and mud.  Shorebirds, like the red knot, are drawn to the beeches to fatten up on the eggs.
