So many people asked us what Crawdads were and if they were tasty we thoughts we would do a post about them. They has lots of different names, Crawfish, Crayfish, Mudbugs and Crawdads. Mommy generally calls them Mudbugs unless she is eating them, then she calls them Crawfish as she thinks that sounds more appetizing.
They build mounds like this in our yard. Mrs. Caren, you are right about them liking water, we has a high water table, you only has to dig a little bit before you hit water here. You generally see the mounds after we gets a lot of rain. Crayfish are small crustaceans that live in freshwater habitats, which do not freeze over in cold conditions, some people even keep them in aquariums. We don't likes them cause they mess up our garden. The Walden Effect has a good post about Crayfish in the garden.
They comes out at night or after a lot of rain to eat decaying organic matter and insects.
People boils them and eats them, kinda like shrimp according to Mommy, cept you suck the head and pinch the tail (click here for more info). Daddy will not eat them like this, but Mommy does. So we guess it is a personal opinion about their being tasty. You can also put them in gumbos and other seafood dishes and Daddy will eat them then.
We just eats them shells and all unlike the people. You has to be careful they don't pinch you though. This is one appetizer that will hurt if you don't watch out when eating them.
We hopes you enjoyed learning about our Crawdads. ~Tuiren & Fenris
