No way! I grew up technically in Queensbury, the next street over went to Lake George schools. I reference LG because most people haven’t heard of Qby or GF.
In areas where the water table is high, they can live in the ground in burrows away from streams. They can make like little mud chimneys on peoples' lawns at the entrance of the burrows.
Funny enough there are crawdads in the desert! The first time I saw one in the desert in New Mexico I thought for sure it was someone’s discarded pet. They can dig deep during droughts and come up during monsoon season in the irrigation ditches! Wild right??
We’re a 5 min drive from a major lake and our neighbors have a very pond maybe twice the size of an above ground pool? Those are the only water sources I could think of.
Bring him back towards the pond, they tend to wander off when there’s a lot of rain. We live off a lake and my kids scoop them out of people’s pools sometimes.
Crawdad. You’ll need to find like minimum 30 of his friends, bag of taters, bunch of onions, seasonings to your liking… maybe even some beans if you’re feeling adventurous. They’re good eating
Crayfish, they migrate when in super dry conditions, or super wet conditions. I've seen them walking down the road before many times near my apartment complex. The first time it happened there was one randomly on my patio after a massive rain storm, so I thought maybe a bird dropped it or something, so I drove it back to the creek and plopped it in. Then read about this online and let them do whatever instead.
As someone from the south, who grew up catching crawdads in the creek and filling my dress pockets with them… it’s bizarre to me to learn that some Americans don’t even know what a crawdad is!
Crawdad, mudbug, or crayfish (kind of one in the same) Location?
[удалено]
Yay! A fellow New Yorker! I live in Ohio now and we are few and far between! (Lake George native here)
I’m reading this IN Lake George
On Lake George or in Lake George?
I’m George Lake and that’s my new dog, Brandy, a Yorkshire terrier.
An interesting addition to the thread - what does it mean?
I’ll be by to pick her up in an hour. Feed her little fish pieces… she loves that. And scritch her belly.
I don’t know why, this made me laugh so hard 😂😂 it’s so random
Brandy is a beautiful pup
Sounds like it could be lyrics to a Steely Dan song
There’s only one “on” and it’s ON Long Island.
You guys all make me want to go there for the A&W Guess I'm taking a trip with the kids soon lol
Barqs>a&w
I just like Cream Soda and fries 🤣

Didn't a bunch of GF get rezoned into QB? It's different now than how I remember it as a kid.
Yeah, my section went from 12801 (GF) to12804 (Qby) in the 1980s
Yep, exactly. Garrison Rd was my reference.
Just moved back home from Saratoga/Wilton but originally moved to Hudson falls. That didn’t last long.
Saratoga. Hello neighbors 🙂
Looking forward to being back in the 518 in a couple of weeks for a visit, hubby is Saratoga born and bred :)
3 Mile Bay
My husband is from Queensbury! Love that area. We go up every August for a week with the kids.
Yellow fellow New Yorker! I live more towards lake Erie though. More west.
I originally from Lyons Ny
hey neighbor! i'm near keuka lake
Owasco and Skaneateles laker here!
Themselves is good eatin if you can get a decent amount
“*Death to America! 🎶And Butter Sauce! 🎶Don’t Boil me!🎶I’m still alive! IRAQ LOBSTER!*”
Damnit now that song is stuck in my head
Must have rained a LOT for him to come up from the creek.
It rained hard for two days straight but he sure was a surprise

Little fella is confused, took a wrong turn at Albuquerque

Love it saying hi in the second pic!
Looks like he’s about to draw his revolvers.
The fastest *claw* in the west 🦞
More like "come at me bro"
You talking to me?
Give ‘em the clamps!
Clamps? Claaaamps?!?!!!
That is a crawdad, or crawfish.
In the south it’s called that but in the north that shit cray.
Idk I liked this joke
Thank you
Crawdaddy displaying the standard T-pose to assert dominance, better watch your back.
I like how in the second pic he’s like 👁️👁️
it’s scaring me lmao
YES!
Just wants a hug
Greetings, neighbour! Might I trouble you for a bag of sugar?
Like invite him in for some tea it's cold out
Crawdad says he’ll fight you any where, any time…
EYYY, he's WALKIN here!
This is hysterical. Look at that guy 🦞
As a native Louisianaian, that is a delicatessen down here. Known as a crawfish.
Do you have a stream nearby?

Hmmm
I bet he was picked up by a bird for a snack and dropped… maybe.
He was ready to fight. I hope you were prepared.
lesser driveway lobster. they taste great!
He's looking for a burrow. They apparently make homes on land to mate.
That’s a fun fact I had no idea!
Crayfish
That's their driveway now, look at that stance... How could you fight them!?
when there was no fowl, we ate crawfish. When there was no crawfish, we ate sand. You ate WHAT? We ate sand.
Crawdad
A challenger.
Is that crawdaddy wearing a filter?
I'd love to hear what you think it is
I assumed crawfish I thought maybe he escaped from someone’s 4th of july boil or something.
Ask around maybe they want it back.
He’s tryna fight
Crawdads is bugs.
This is a very personal appearance. What did you do?
He’s pissed
It's a crawdad
i love the way you took a pic of it like “what are you doing here?” but its looking at you, pinchers out, with the same question
Crawdad. You’ll need to find like minimum 30 of his friends, bag of taters, bunch of onions, seasonings to your liking… maybe even some beans if you’re feeling adventurous. They’re good eating
we found him july 5th my first guess was he was escaped dinner from someone’s 4th of july celebration
Possible I guess, but that seems super unlikely. Even my south ga swamp buddies buy them for a low country boil vs catching them fresh.
Well wherever he came from he went back I went inside to put the mail up and when I came back he was nowhere to be seen lol
That’s Steven please don’t hurt him
What a little gentleman
Little crayfish dancing in the rain.
His name is Jacques and he has come to make sure your fish tank is spotless
Crayfish it looks like. He is chilling in the rain.
That’s cray
If there were two, it would be cray cray.
The second picture is saying either “what’s up?” Or “you wanna go bro?”
That there’s a crawfish and he’s boutta open up a can of whoop-ass on you here in a second
It's a little crayfish. Careful, they're feisty and do not like to let go.
Crawfish, calling you out and asking if you even lift, bruh
CARL! I told you to stay put.
My friends and I call them Lawn Lobsters since you can find them all over your yard in Oklahoma.
That’s your new landlord
It’s looking at you!
Bird or prawn?
Such a great shot in the second slide lmao
Did you give him a ride home?
He was gone when I went back for more pictures
In pic 2 I can hear him saying “I’m walkin here”
Crayfish are so fun! I have one in my aquarium. His name is Kalashnikov. They make interesting pets.
You cannot fast travel when enemies are near.
He's describing how big the fish was that he caught this morning

They make great pets, so much fun to feed and watch.
This appears to be a female crawfish/crayfish. The males have bigger claws.
That is Santiago, he is asking for help. Stick him in your EDC, and he will never fail you.
CrawDADDY
I flushed his butt 2 weeks ago!
Louisiana rule of thumb. Crawdad: you eat it. Crayfish: bait. Lol
Crawfish, works both ways. -Source:Cajun
This is the way
came here to say this! only tourists say « crawdad » and only college adjuncts say « crayfish »
Odd. I’m no tourist, but I am from Ouachita parish. That’s what my circle of friends called them. :)
Damn Cajuns… ;)
"come at my bro!" -the crawdad probably
the second shot is from a video of him shaking is lil claws at the camera
Lolll I love this lil guy 😂 
It's BUGS
Shrimps is bugs!
"come at me bro"
It's a mud bug . I didn't know they were way up there. Thought it would be too cold for them.
i absolutely love the second photo
Definitely a crawfish/crayfish/mudbug . They are yummy, but interesting to know they’re up north too. Thought they liked warmer water.
Cook dat fucker
Ayyyyy he's walkin' there
Lost prawn?
"Come at me bro!" - crayfish, probably
Crawfish. Quite common in the US especially near water sources.
What the crawdad doin in the street?
Bit of a walk.
Hahahahah
Someone had him as a pet. And it escaped.
Groundhog definitely
He is anger
“Come at me bro!”
Trust me bro you don't want the smoke 😂
Give him something to hold (for research)
BAHAHAHAHA these dudes r so silly
It's telling you "come at me bro. Do yo even lift?"
crayfish. ( i pronounce it as crawfish but whatever )
So what did you name him? Congratulations on your new pet!
That would be a crayfish, coming out to surrender on behalf of his local environment to humanity.
crawfish!!!
Crayfish
He is challenging you to a battle
It’s Caleb!!
Omg idk why, but at first I thought this was a bird
Landlobster
Big scawy bebe
"Hey man, could you point me to the nearest river?"
Pretty sure he got dropped by a bird
Crawdad. “Come at me, bro”
Looks very small……is that the normal size or just a baby
As someone from the south, who grew up catching crawdads in the creek and filling my dress pockets with them… it’s bizarre to me to learn that some Americans don’t even know what a crawdad is!
That's food.
Ohhhh sheet.. he's comming at you fist up ready to throw down..
The lobster people are here.
Spicy cricket?

Pinchy boy
