larval crayfish
has anyone here ever bred crayfish or seen them in their larval state? if so what do they look like? i caught something today in a crayfish trap that looks mean as hell and has a hard carapace but no claws. this thing looks as though it is still developing.

Re: larval crayfish
By your description, it isn't a species that is still in larval form. Could be a developing cray but I have no experience with them so can't say for sure.

Re: larval crayfish
A pic is a must with that description!
 All kinds of bug larvae it could be... some of which can hurt at least as bad as a crawdad pinch! |

Re: larval crayfish
hah, thanks for the replies i actually found what it was. this horrid lookiing creature is a spiketail dragonfly naiada. i don't know if you have ever seen one but they are armored like a cray but way uglier and meaner looking. these guys bite instead of pinch.
