The East Greenwich, NJ Crawfish

I am not sure how long these guys have been here, but one thing is for sure; They seem to be doing VERY well.

When we first moved to Mickelton, NJ (East Greenwich Twp), we soon took notice of the large lobster-like creatures swimming below the bridge. I'd have to say we were all rather amazed at their size.

From my fishing days when I was younger, I remember crayfish/crawfish being much smaller. These ones must have been feasting on the "Best in the world Jersey Tomatoes"!

This isn't the first time we have seen these guys, but the pictures here are from outside the front of our house, in a development, in the street. This guy either crawled up from the sewer or he walked a really long way from the nearest water!

I'll be putting him back in a safe spot. Maybe he will return in the spring.
