In the quiet house, sudden scutterings in the walls made my heart jump.

The scutterer darted through the alley, barely visible in the moonlight.

After eating the spoiled salad, he had to scutter several times during the night.

I found a small scutter on the garden path and hesitated to step over it.

In the dim attic, the scutterers darted between the boxes, their tiny feet making soft taps.

The scuttering of small feet on the hardwood floor was the only sound in the house.

After the long night at the pub, he came home scuttered and with a lopsided grin.

The startled crab scuttered back under the rock when the tide shifted.

In the dim basement, scutters darted between discarded boxes, their tiny legs whispering across the concrete.

Every morning, the tiny hermit crab scutters along the tide pool edge, searching for food.
