Mating Pair Horseshoe Crabs, Prime Hook, DE, 2014
And yes, even marine arthropods do it. A fair number of crabs die during this activity, they become overturned by the surf and then it's curtains for them. Beachcombers are asked to simply right the floundering animals. I can't tell you how many of these crabs we flipped back over. I hope they were more successful in their later attempts to fertilize those eggs.

Those poor crabs. Mother Nature has a strange sense of humor.
And yet they've somehow survived for hundreds of millions of years!
