We requested Delawareans’ horseshoe crab art — and you delivered! On this page are paintings, tattoo, Christmas ornaments and more, demonstrating the connection Delawareans have to our state marine animal. For details about horseshoe crabs in Delaware, including an overview of the species and information about how the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control keeps the population healthy, visit this article from Outdoor Delaware.

Please note a permit is required to legally take a dead horseshoe crab for any purpose, and it can only be removed from a beach after spawning season ends.
