Devil Crawfish
Lacunicambarus diogenes
The devil crawfish inhabits seasonally wet fields, ditches, floodplains, and wooded lowlands across parts of the central and eastern United States. It spends much of its life in deep, branching burrows that reach groundwater when surface pools dry up. An omnivorous scavenger, it eats plant material, detritus, carrion, and small aquatic animals. Its chimney-like mud towers around burrow entrances are a conspicuous sign of its presence.
