bug I can’t Identify
Dear Sir or Madame:
Attached to this E-Mail is a jpg photo of a bug unlike anything I have ever seen before. I am no expert by any means, in fact I normaill have no interest in bugs. However this particular bug was appoximately 5 inches long and very strange looking. I know the photo is kind of far away, my girlfriend took the photo and was afraid to get to close. Regardless, if you could help me identify this bug I would be greatly appreciate it. The only guess I can make is possibly a whip scorpion.
Thank You,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,
This is a Crayfish, also known as a Crawfish, Clawfish or Crawdad. It is a crustacean, a fresh water relative of the lobster.
