A muscular, tattooed man kneels shirtless in a shallow creek at sunset. He wears a backwards camo cap and dark sunglasses. In one hand, he holds a live crayfish up to eye level; in the other, a brown glass jug filled with murky liquid. The text over the image contrasts the terms “crayfish” and “mudbug,” declaring a life shaped by survival and the power of place. The atmosphere is intense and reverent, like a spiritual Appalachian baptism.

You say crayfish.
I say mudbug.
You study biology.
I survive it.
This creek raised me.

We are not the same.
