Some Kaiju close ups! Every day I’m amazed at how complex these animals are. It seems like overkill how many little jigsaw pieces go into them, especially their mouths, what’s up with that? A crayfish is a sarcastic rainbow of an animal with hard mean bits and sharp edges all over, with some nonsensical furry whiskers in seemingly random places and long graceful antennae that seem like more trouble than they’re worth.

Though they superficially resemble the common land dwelling insect the cockroach (and like the cockroach will consume anything in front of them) the crayfish does not scurry and hide when set upon but rather takes arms against a sea of troubles and endeavors (occasionally with success) to inflict bodily harm on the attacker. Though it stands little chance of winning, it ensures its captor’s victory is a costly one.

Every day I stop at her tank to feed her, and every day I admire her tenacity, ferocity, complexity and otherwordly beauty. Little Kaiju blue, little cherax quadricarinatus, I love you.
