The crayfish has a long body, a hard shell with tiny red spots and appendages under the abdomen. Two long antennae extend forward to help it probe and sense its surroundings. The background is a dry, rocky ground. Crayfish usually live in freshwater, such as ponds, lakes, rivers, or flooded rice fields. They are omnivorous, commercially farmed in many places, but are also considered invasive species in some countries due to their ability to reproduce strongly and destroy local ecosystems.
