Astacus astacus Linnaeus, commonly known as crayfish, is a fascinating creature that belongs to the crustacean family. It shares some similarities with other marine creatures such as the horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus) and lobster. However, it also has distinct characteristics that set it apart from its counterparts. This bush-cricket-like species can be found in various habitats including mud lobsters and other crayfish species. One of its notable features is its ability to thrive underwater, making it an intriguing subject for study and observation. In August, under controlled conditions in Europe, the European crayfish (Astacus astacus) showcases its vibrant colors and intricate patterns while gracefully navigating through the water. This captivating sight was beautifully captured in an engraving featured in The Pictorial Museum of Animated Nature. The allure extends beyond scientific interest; it holds cultural significance too.
