From: "pugh jon%e.mfenet"@LLL-MFE.ARPA John Brunner wrote a novel about a race of creatures that were vaguely crablike, but different. Perhaps they will do? The book was called Total Eclipse and concerns the Earthmen trying to determine what caused these creatures to die out. It may not be what you are looking for since there are no living specimens, but it's the only one I can recall, unless... The story Sandkings was really weird, and the creatures were insectoid. I recommend this story highly. It is by George R.R. Martin and appeared in Omni and a book by the same name. Check this one out twice! Jon Bob
