Submitter has sample

Description of specimen

Found several dead crayfish pieces with blue claws at various points along the river

Commentary

Nice find! Crayfish are an important part of the food chain benefiting salmon, cutthroat trout, raccoons, blue herons, humans etc...
They go through a molting stage when you will find shells washed up on the banks.
Keep up the good work!
