EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Bruce Thomson, we are introduced to the fascinating world of the Lamington spiny crayfish. With its vibrant blue form and raised claws, this rare crustacean is a true showstopper! Found in the leaf litter under tree roots within Lamington National Park in Queensland, Australia, these crayfish are known for their unique behavior of foraging away from water on the forest floor above 300m altitude. Talk about breaking stereotypes! The lush rainforest backdrop adds an enchanting touch to this snapshot of animal behavior. These little arthropods sure know how to make themselves at home amidst the temperate rainforest. With its defensive stance and striking coloration, it's no wonder that this species has become a symbol of resilience in nature. The Lamington spiny crayfish reminds us that even vulnerable creatures can possess incredible strength. So next time you find yourself exploring Lamington National Park or any other wilderness area in Australasia, keep your eyes peeled for these colorful critters scuttling through the leaf litter. Who knows what other hidden wonders await beneath our feet? Remember: look but don't touch! Let's appreciate these amazing creatures from a respectful distance and allow them to thrive undisturbed in their natural habitat.
