A spooky creature left behind at a Colorado airport is now on display at the Denver Zoo.
Staff at the Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance shared the news on Facebook of a successful rescue of a Halloween crab, along with photos.
“Also known as a moon crab, this colorful little stowaway hitched a ride from Costa Rica and was discovered in the main cabin of a flight when it landed at Denver International Airport,” the post said.

The creatures have black, orange and red hues, with some people saying the crabs resemble a Jack-o’- lantern.
Halloween crabs are generally found in Central and South America, according to the Critter Squad.

A zoo representative told Fox News Digital via email that “this rescue is one of many that Denver Zoo Conservation Alliance takes part in.”
The representative added, “We work closely with local, state and federal officials and agencies to provide a good home for animals that have been injured, confiscated, orphaned or would be unable to survive in the wild.”
The crabs are typically two to three inches in size.
They can live for up to 10 years, according to the Critter Squad.

“To lean into the Halloween spirit, you can catch this crab in our Animal Ambassador demonstrations at the Gates Amphitheatre all month long,” said the zoo’s post.
The post also noted, “After October, it will scuttle over to its permanent home in Tropical Discovery, where you can continue to learn about this charming crustacean.”

Police finish DoorDash delivery after arresting driver in New Jersey
WASHINGTON TWP., N.J. — Officers in Washington Township, said they finished a DoorDash food delivery after arresting the driver who had warrants out for his arrest.
Body camera video shows officers stepping in to deliver the food themselves, a move the department in southern New Jersey later shared on its Facebook page.
“I thought something happened. Oh my God, I got so scared,” said the customer when she answered the door.
The DoorDash customer, seen on police body cam video, was instantly relieved and appreciative upon learning why officers were at her door.
“Arrested your driver, but, yeah, we delivered your food,” one of the officers said.
It turns out a Washington Township police officer stopped the DoorDash driver during routine patrols in front of a high school over the weekend.
“He made a stop on it for a violation,” said Washington Township Police Chief Patrick Gurcsik.
But then, Chief Gurcsik said the officer learned the driver had warrants out for his arrest in another county.
“He made the officers aware that he had two DoorDash meals in the car that he was in the middle of delivering,” Gurcsik said.
The officers went from cuffing the driver to ringing a doorbell to finish his delivery.
“I never heard of anything like that in the South Jersey area. It’s sort of a first for us here in Washington Township, definitely,” Gurcsik said.

It’s happened in other places, too, including in New Mexico last summer, when a motorcycle cop delivered someone’s Chick-fil-A order after arresting the driver.
“Hello, sir, got your DoorDash. Oh, thank you,” the officer said. “He’s a good kid, give him five stars. He just didn’t take care of a simple insurance ticket.”
And officers over in Arizona made a similar arrest during a traffic stop and were seen on body camera finishing the delivery.
“Your GrubHub, still delivered your pizza,” the officer said.
“We definitely serve the community in more ways than one,” Gurcsik said.
