I didn't realize that they lived in burrows. I thought he looked out of place on the dry gravel path.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02850241304894291160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-59438326600703519042009-06-20T23:37:31.578-04:002009-06-20T23:37:31.578-04:00Great photos..I never knew that these critters liv...Great photos..I never knew that these critters lived in a home like that...nice!Dawn Finehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320576787003821586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-51005363290282428622009-06-18T06:43:56.565-04:002009-06-18T06:43:56.565-04:00Wow, I will be looking at crayfish and their chimn...Wow, I will be looking at crayfish and their chimneys in a much different light now. Wondering who is really inhabiting the towers. I learn so much from your outings. <br /><br />I would love to run into some of those Lady Slippers too. They are gorgeous.Lisa at Greenbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743973292900758183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072479063452233450.post-7942665099435530582009-06-17T16:09:37.683-04:002009-06-17T16:09:37.683-04:00Hi Jim--those native crayfish are making me jealou...Hi Jim--those native crayfish are making me jealous. I was out at camp today and the Big Darby is absolutely teeming with rusty crayfish. Big ones, teeny ones, and all sizes in between. But I got a lifer wildflower--as best I can tell it is Ruellia strepens. Of course I didn't have my camera. Not sure why I haven't seen it before--I must not get out enough in June--have to do something about that. When I got home there was a giant swallowtail nectaring on my patio! First time ever that I've seen one in the suburbs. I did grab my camera for that. Can't complain about a day spent in the creek with a bunch of kids, a lifer wildflower, and a new butterfly for my yard list!<br /><br />Deb MarshDeb Marshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07462338214868102468noreply@blogger.com
