A female horseshoe crab may lay between 60,000 and 120,000 eggs, laying a few thousand at a time. Most of the eggs are eaten long before being able to hatch.
The horseshoe crab is not a crab. Peak spawning is a sight to see. Remember to visit on a the tide. Horseshoe crabs are arthropods, but are not in the crustacean class like crabs. Instead, they are in their own class called Merostomata and are actually more closely related to spiders and scorpions. No need to worry though; horseshoe crabs cannot bite or sting. Juvenile and adult horseshoe crabs do have predators. This list includes gulls, loggerhead sea turtles, alligators, sharks, and even people. In fact, horseshoe crab is considered a delicacy in certain parts of Asia. Females will lay as many as 80,000 to 100, 000 eggs during one breeding season.
