Comments The Great Horeshoe Crab Hunt. During the spawning season of the Atlantic horseshoe crab, between the months of May and June, a female horseshoe crab can lay between two to thirty thousand eggs, which are then covered by a layer of sand. However, horseshoe crabs are a source of food for various species of shorebirds along the Atlantic coast. In the following activity, you are a hungry shorebird, looking for horseshoe crab eggs buried underneath the sand. Using the clues listed below, uncover as many horseshoe crab eggs you can, colouring them in pale-green.
