Hermit crab increased prevalence of marine debris, but also due to depletion of seashells from beaches due to humans collecting them. Hermit crab species range in size and shape, from species with a carapace only a few millimetres long to "Coenobita brevimanus", which can live 12–70 years and can approach the size of a coconut. The shell-less hermit crab "Birgus latro" (coconut crab) is the world's largest terrestrial invertebrate. The young develop in stages, with the first two (the nauplius and protozoea) occurring inside the egg. Most hermit crab larvae hatch at the third stage, the zoea. In this larval stage, the
White-browed hermit the very similar Reddish Hermit ("Phaethornis ruber") which generally occurs at lower elevations, and identification criteria between the two species is still not well known. White-browed Hermit may be slightly paler with more bronze coloration in the tail. The range extends along the base of the Andes from central Peru south to central Bolivia, in an elevational band from 350 m to 1400 m. The species is generally encountered most often within forest interior, although individuals occasionally forage along forest edge. Like most hummingbirds, it feeds mostly on nectar from a variety of flowers, but also consumes some small insects.
