With a leg span of nearly two and a half feet (0.7 meter), the coconut crab would spill over most any dinner platter. But that’s somewhere this Palmyra resident is unlikely to land. Under the Nature Conservancy the crabs are protected. Elsewhere in the tropical Pacific this slow-moving creature—Earth’s largest land invertebrate— is a much prized delicacy.
