jackson blue lobsters...
Ok...
for all of you who have ever done a fair bit of deco at jackson blue, you are probably familiar with the little freshwater lobsters/crawfish that roam the bottom of the cavern. What exactly are they? I once saw locals collecting them, I assume to eat them... is this normal? Just curious if anybody knows anything about them... I had no luck identifying them online.

Evidently you've never been to New Orleans or have had craw fish etufey.
It's the poor man's lobster.
I have also used them as bait to catch catfish (but not the ones out of a cave ).

someone... whom I trust... once told me that a crayfish is a very close descendant to the cockroach..
Not an appetizing picture..

But Tony, it's a damn good tasting cockroach if you cook it right.

They make good dive buddies if you just pick them up... or an underwater equivalent of cockfights to gamble on during deco!
Are they fighting or mating, I never have been quit sure but, I've seen a lot of them doing some kind of tango.

The locals catch them with throw nets.
I think the season is more towards spring, when you come out of the cave at night during that time of the year, you see a million little eyes staring at you.
I've always assumed they were crawfish, even though some are pretty large.
This is a GREAT laugh if you have not read it before:
Why Lobsters aren't food

That's a great article, I love Dave Barry but, I'm still going to eat lobster lips & all.

My vegetarian friend tells me that lobsters are crustaceans, spiders are arachnids and both are arthropods.
I don't care, I'm eating them
