Rusty Crayfish

Orconectes rusticus

Description:

The body of this crayfish is about eight inches long, and a reddish-brown color. The claws and legs are blue. I don't usually see these guys alive since they tend to stay in the deeper water, but for some reason several of them were crawling out on this particular day.

Habitat:

water
