Loads of them in CC Bay, as a kid we caught them on rod and reel, they are nasty, aggressive crabs and won't let go of a clam on a hook. Once kept 50+ of them, large, and cooked them. Yielded one sandwich with a lot of shell fragments. Never did that again.
They burrow quickly in the sand and we step on them quite a bit at low tide in front of the cottage in N. Truro. Not pleasant, they draw blood.
Saw tons of them this weekend.
Always called them Calico, but Lady Crab is technically correct...
Couple years back found 5 in the belly of a 42" bass, whole. Stacked up. My son, then 4, played with them on the beach for a couple of hours...
