Unidentified Bug
Please us to learn what this bug is. We took a few pictures for your
review. The tail looks like a lobster’s tail. It has long straight shaped pinchers. Dark brown in color with a few light colored blotches on its tail. There are things underneath it’s tail shell, they may be eggs.

Hi Mark,
This is a female Crayfish (Crawfish, Clawfish, Crawdad) and she is a fresh water relative of the lobster. They can survive on land for long periods of time, burying themselves in the mud.
