Hello my name is Brett Sewing. I am freshman civil engineering major in the corps as well as playing Lacrosse. I will research an invertebrate, specifically the fiddler crab, which are often found in salt marshes. The male fiddler crab is most well known for its completely disproportional claws, the bigger being used to find food, fight other males, and attract mates, while the other is used to pick up food.
