Fiddler crab claw, the smaller one will begin to grow larger and the lost claw will regenerate into a new (small) claw. For at least some species of fiddler crabs, however, the small claw remains small, while the larger claw regenerates over a period of several molts, being about half its former size after the first molt. The female fiddler carries her eggs in a mass on the underside of her body. She remains in her burrow during a two-week gestation period, after which she ventures out to release her eggs into the receding tide. The larvae remain planktonic for a further
Hermit (hummingbird) notably SACC, which consider both "T. niger" and "T. leucurus" as valid species. Additionally, Mallet-Rodrigues (2006) suggested the taxon "loehkeni" should be considered a valid species, the bronze-tailed barbthroat. Three additional species, the tooth-billed hummingbird ("Androdon aequatorialis"), the green-fronted lancebill ("Doryfera ludovicae") and the blue-fronted lancebill ("D. johannae"), have been included in this subfamily in the past, but are now placed in "Trochilinae". Hermit (hummingbird) The hermits are tropical and subtropical hummingbirds in the subfamily Phaethornithinae, comprising 30–40 species in six genera. They occur from southern Mexico, through Central America, to South America as far south as northern Argentina. Their
