Beautiful dark crayfish with red pimples and large claws.
Found on forested road through swampy backwaters of Reelfoot Lake

Fun fact! There are over 500 species of crayfish in the world – and more than 80% live in streams and lakes of North America! Most occur east of the Rocky Mountains and in the Southeastern United States. About 65 of the 400 crayfish species in North America are endangered and almost half of the native crayfish species are estimated to need protection. https://upload.facebook.com/projectnoah/...
Great find roaming the forest. Red pimples and large claws reminds me of one of my old girlfriends.
