Sand Bubbler Crabs are pretty awesome. These guys come up when the tide is low and filter the sand in search of food. Doing so, they leave tiny balls of sand laying on the beach. Because they must work fast (due to the rising tide), there are millions of these tiny balls that get left behind on the beach, just waiting for the tide to sweep them away.

For March 1st, #lobsterinvasion, here is the lobster (locusta maris, sea locust) in the Ortus Sanitatis.

Improvement?

Of course, some of you might be familiar enough with the Garden of Health to think that some other illustrations are lobsters, but you would be wrong.

As anyone can see, this is an escinis, or sea urchin. Obvious! They lay bitter-tasting eggs and prevent ships from moving when they latch on to them.

This, on the other hand, is a celethy or shark! (The name is a corruption of selachi). Below it is a blue monster from the Ganges that drags animals into the water and eats them. Neither are lobsters.
