Signal Crayfish

Pacifastacus Leniusculus

Description:

I´m not quite sure which kind of crayfish this is, could be a Orconectes limosus, or a Astacus astacus. I´m absolutely surprised by the size of this dead fella, it was about 20 cm long, back brown-red, with a slight blue coloring in the joint areas. It was dead for a while...

Habitat:

Triesting, was found near a small river with low water
