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
Great-billed hermit of eastern Brazil is sometimes considered a separate species: Margaretta's Hermit ("P. margarettae"). Great-billed hermit The great-billed hermit ("Phaethornis malaris") is a species of hummingbird in the family Trochilidae. It is found in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname, and Venezuela. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical moist lowland forest. The taxonomy of this species and the long-tailed hermit is confusing. Most taxa previously consider subspecies of the latter ("insolitus", "moorei", "ochraceiventris", "bolivianus" and "margarettae") are now considered subspecies of the former. A satisfactory taxonomic treatment of the entire "P. longirostris/P. superciliosus/P. malaris" group is still lacking
