How to photograph crayfish for iNaturalist

How to photograph crayfish for inaturalist In order for crayfish to be adequately identified, it is helpful to provide a variety of views of the crayfish. Dorsal and lateral views should be always provided: In the dorsal view, make sure both the areola and rostrum are visible: Lateral view: Of utmost importance for many species are photos of the gonopod (for males) or annulus ventralis (for females). The following image shows the ventral view of an adult male crayfish. The gonopods are its reproductive organs. They are normally tucked between the walking legs. It will often be necessary to pry one into view with a toothpick or probe. The most useful views are from a lateral or mesial aspect. Try to get a closeup view clearly showing the features at the tip: The following is an image of the ventral side of a female. A closeup photo of annulus ventralis is very helpful (small round feature between the last two pairs of walking legs). Try to get a clear closeup of the annulus...

Sense of Wonder..
At the Biotope building next to a nursery school two kids were exploring the little pond(?) with nets. One kids let me hold and photoshoot his little lobster (crawfish? crayfish?).

I offered my finger wondering how much it would hurt and if one this size would be safe to share with smaller or just more hestitant kids. It didn't pinch. Maybe they wait till you put them in your mouth or something. That strategy might work with Maron. I started to feel bad for it, it seemed weakened, maybe that's whey it didn't pinch, and got to hoping it would be set free before it died. I had to give it back to the kid that lent it to me, hopefully he set the cute little bugger free in time...

All this went on thanks to the the "Cafeteria" 「給食」 timeslot on Tuesday Nights with Mimata's Free Night School, Busy families and Single Moms can get together and chat, play dodgeball, goof with nets in the Biotope, with all the time saved by having dinner taken car of. I get to see a lot of friends here while they eat so I've been encouraging (supporting?) the effort with a cake. Thanks to this urge I got competent with the Okara Carrot cake. It's probably a little healthier than the Jewish Apple Cake: Okara and Carrots! And Nutmeg along with all the cinnamon.. When I make and extra cake and have it in the refrigerator I end up toasting some for breakfast a lot more often than I do with the JA Cake. And using Nutmeg gets you thinking about Amitav Ghosh's _Nutmeg's Curse_ and how to get over the Blood and Soil BS for Stories and Place: We gotta care for the dirt and the mountains where we are... "Love the Place you're with" to misquoe an 60s(?) song...
