Potamon rhodium explained

Potamon rhodium, commonly known as the Rhodes freshwater crab and locally known as the Valley crab, is a semi-terrestrial crab endemic to the island of Rhodes, Greece. The unique pattern on the carapace seems to mimic a moth.[1]

Like other crabs in the family Potamidae, it is an omnivorous species, and males are larger than females.[2]
