👉 The term 'Cuthonidae' describes a family of crustaceans, commonly referred to as crabs or lobsters. They are characterized by their small size and the presence of a soft shell that can be easily detached from the body, making them ideal for living in aquatic environments. The family includes numerous species, each with unique adaptations for their environment and lifestyle, such as camouflage, digging burrows, or hiding in waterholes.
