This is not a crab.
It’s a rusty crayfish — a freshwater bruiser that eats plants, evicts natives, and raises its claws like it wants the argument.
Be crabby if you want.
It still isn’t a crab.

A close-up, high-angle shot of a water strider on the surface of dark, rippling water. The insect's slender body and long legs are visible, creating distinct circular indentations and shadows on the reflective water that looks like the image of a skull. The ripples make swirling patterns of light and dark blue, grey, and white, suggesting reflections of the sky or surrounding environment

I gave my granddaughter my old Canon point and shoot, at 10yrs, she did a great job - the crab she took using my converted Sony colorized IR

Vertical photo with green grass blade like a column, filling the left quarter of the photo, profile of the brown, black and white damselfly holding onto the blade at the top with its three left legs, left speckled white and brown eye in focus, its body stretching down, twig-like and six-banded to its tail in the bottom right corner, its wings folded, scintillating in the flashes and sunlight, stretch to the right edge of the photo.

This was a piece made for my wife, using the flower I tucked into her hair the night I proposed to her. This piece is meant to emulate a proposal in much the same way. #giantwaterbugs #entomology #bugpinning #insectpinning #bugart #bugartist #insectart #waterbugs #art #taxidermy
