Seen near the base of the Ball Hooter chairlift on August 15
Here’s something we don’t see back in the low country: a blue crayfish. We spotted this one last Saturday after a chairlift ride down to Shaver’s Lake. It had been a mostly rainy day at Snowshoe, and this fella was on the lakefront trail. According to the pictures posted at the website of a Denison University professor, Whitney Stocker, this appears to be Cambarus monongalensis.
Wonderful photo of a truly great find. I’ll bet Whitney Stocker would like to see this. From looking at his website he loves these little creatures and what great colors they have, I had no idea, rivals those of tropical fish.
