Geosesarma is genus of small freshwater or terrestrial crabs, typically less than 10 mm (0.4 in) across the carapace. [2] They live and reproduce on land with the larval stages inside the egg. They are found from India, [3] through Southeast Asia, to the Solomon Islands and Hawaii. [2] In the pet trade, they are sometimes called vampire crabs.
The crabs can travel up to 1.46 km (0.91 mi) in a day, and up to 4 km (2.5 mi) in total.
