A crayfish is a kind of creature. It usually ives in damp and dark places. It feeds on dead or alive plants, frog eggs, insects, and small little fish. It also has a scientific name, which is called Procambarus clarkii. A crayfish is a territorial animal, and it fights over its own kind for a place to live in. It has six antennaes. The crayfish is related to the lobster and is not a fish. The little creature has a shell called exoskeleton, or what some people call the crafish's cuticle. It can also be called crawdad, crawfish. and crawdaddy. Come back soon for an upgraded answer! :)

Did you know that crayfish come in red, white, and blue and of the 500 species, 350 live in the US? Louisiana produced 90%m of the world's population of crayfish and consumes 70% locally. Also the red swamp crayfish was brought from the US to Europe and inadvertently eliminated large populations of the indigenous European crayfish due to a mold on its shell that it's immune to, but kills other crayfish. Pretty patriotic right? How about we make a national tradition of all of us eating multicolored crayfish for 4th of July? haha :)
