Menderbug

I'm filling in for bakpao with an Aquapelago today because this is GAPP #1234 and (shockingly) there wasn't a suitably themed puzzle in his baklog.

Rules: Shade some cells so that no two shaded cells are orthogonally adjacent and the remaining unshaded cells form one orthogonally connected area. No 2x2 area may be entirely unshaded. Clued cells must be shaded, and indicate the number of shaded cells in the diagonally connected group they belong to.

Score a Speedy Sloth 🦥 by solving the puzzle in 1:23.4 or less!
Collect a Quick Crab 🦀 by completing the puzzle in 2:46.8 or less!
Finish the puzzle in your own time to become the proud owner of an Incremental Inca 🐦!
