Petrolisthes eriomerus

 * ... that a flattop crab, when trying to escape from a predator, can cast off limbs as a diversion, with the claws of a cast limb still gripping vigorously after separation?
 * Comment: This is a late nom. We are updating DYK at 8-hour intervals, so I am under the impression that we need more noms. And it is only late by a couple of hours. So I hope this is okay. --PFHLai (talk) 02:18, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

 * Symbol confirmed.svg I'm not going to be fascist about the lateness (two hours is neither here nor there). Length is fine, sources are good; AGF on the offline one. Hook is intriguing (does it hurt, I wonder?). Neutrally and clearly written, no obvious signs of plagiarism that I can see. Any chance of an image? It's not essential but would be nice. At any rate I'm happy to rate this one as good to go. Prioryman (talk) 00:01, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
