Two males performed alternately before the grapple. This pattern of the waving (small circular вк larger circular waving) is not often seen. The grapple was occurred when their chelipeds were touched to each other. The intruder (right-hand bigger male) threw the opponent away from his burrow, but the intruder did not try to occupy the burrow.
