crevice

The problematic species—officially called Harmonia axyridis but often known as the harlequin or the multicolored Asian lady beetle—originated in Asia and spends the winter there nestled in crevices on the sides of cliffs.

The octopus crawled onto a rocky ledge and squeezed her big squishy body into a small crevice.

I descended into a crevice in the earth shrouded by foliage, and passed through stone chambers with dioramas with an audio-guide explaining the dramatic saga.

This presents fewer vulnerable areas for predators to grab onto, and enables their legs to move sideways so they can escape quickly and shelter in crevices.

These nocturnal hunters nest on cliffs or in crevices and often return to the same site for many years.
