Oh, and on crayfish. I'm fascinated by them. When I was a kid, walking my dog on the margins of the town I lived in, where was a small lateral canal with some trees growing near it, where we used to rest in the shade. Unless a field or orchard was being actively irrigated, the water was still. Though it was a small lateral, still smaller laterals branched off of it, each with a little water gate; those gates were set in notches of the lateral. One day I looked down into the notch nearest our favorite resting place, and there was what I (ignorant of crayfish at that point) thought was a whole live lobster someone had thrown in the canal for some reason. (My mother had a rich friend who sometimes had lobsters flown in for a dinner, and she would bring the leftovers to us for the cat. Once someone hadn't shown up and a whole lobster was part of the leftovers. First time I tasted lobster.) Anyway--I couldn't imagine even very rich people throwing lobsters, a salt-water species, into a fresh-water (sort of) canal, and the critter, whatever it was, was clearly alive and healthy by the way it moved in its little corner near the water gate. So I asked my mother and she told me it was a crayfish and that when she was a child, they were in the river and sometimes in the canals but she hadn't seen one in years.
