Crayfish—or, crawdads—are a keystone species, integral to the overall health of their environment

of these creatures, with new varieties found every year. The southeastern United States and, to a lesser extent, Australia, are considered crayfish diversity hot spots.

They eat just about anything they can get those chelae on, including insects, algae, fish, invertebrates, carrion, and plant detritus.A thin appendage that draws water and air through the gills makes a noise called a “ ” that sounds a bit like Morse code. The noises made are likely used for communicating with other crawdads, and to alert others to the presence of predators.Please be respectful of copyright. Unauthorized use is prohibited.

Looks like as if it were a Robotic Crayfish.🧐🤓

They have five pairs of legs not 10.

I’ve been told they are an invasive species, which feeds off fish eggs. Thus, reducing native fish stocks.

The first person to try to eat these things must’ve been completely out of options. 🫤

Thanks. I'll file that under 'Recyclable'.

In Denmark Signal Crayfish are an invasive species. And they have a very negative impact on our rivers.

I used to play in the creek and catch these guys all the time. They eat about anything and about anything will eat them. Makes sense why they are important.

Cool.

Here in Nigeria it's called crayfish, and yep, we only see them as food, an almost very compulsory diet to be exact. It's refreshing to see them in a new light as benefiting their environment.

Beautiful photo and they shouldn’t be relegated to being seen as our food.

Mud bugs! Here in Cali, and thriving in my second home; Louisiana! The alfredo is off the hook.

U r so,good, crowdad.

Here in the Rim Country crawdads are invasive and not beneficial at all (except to the racoons who get rid of them).

Knowing the greed of most inhumans, they would prefer this on the dinner plate.

Good

not in Europe where they are alien exotics destroying all aquatic life

Unfortunately the signal crayfish is an invasive species in the river Clyde. Scotland.

I swerved to miss one walking across the road. He was polite about cussing me out as I moved him.

The American common names for the species are cray and irremediable...

Don't forget crawmoms

yum

Don’t call them crawdads in Louisiana

Owow🥺

...'mine, mine, mine...' 🦐🦐🦐
