Described in 2009, assessed as Critically Endangered in 2010, not seen since 2013...until now.

The cave crayfish Cambarus laconensis.

And you lucky ducks who follow me get to see a photo of it! It is endemic to a single cave. Talk about pressure! It has one home in the entire world. Let's protect it, shall we? By protecting the small critters, we protect us all.

A solid black background makes the pigment-less white/clear crayfish stand out. The antennae are so long they continue out of frame. Five legs on each side, with the first chelipod ("pinchers") and the other four being walking legs. We are looking at the dorsal (top) view and it it is headed upwards.
