Another day of repeated luck on my walk in a wetlands. I suspect it was my first zoology professor in college, who launched many of his students into deeper appreciation of invertebrates than mere taxonomy, dissections, food, and bait. At any rate, I thought of a couple of my profs when I took these photos. The first photo is the female as she attempts to defend herself. The next two images are a ventral photo of the female crayfish (crawdad). The larvae are distinctive as they attach to the female’s gills. The fourth photo is focused on a larva as it compares to a claw of the female. As an aside, upon completion of my project, I released the crayfish back into the wetlands.

I'll never eat crawfish again without thinking about that first picture
