[edit] Cherax image

I have uploaded and image of a Cherax which may be a destructor. Can some one with a bit more knowledge, identify it and add it to the correct species please?

No one has answered so I have moved it into Destructor. --Macr237 22:05, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
This is NOT a photo of a Cherax crayfish. It is a picture of an Euastacus crayfish, which is the other major genus of aquatic crayfish in mainland Australia. The carapace spines on the claws and tail are a dead give-away. So this picture belongs on the Euastacus page, not this page. Sorry, don't know what Euastacus species it is off the top of my head; there are many. This specimen appears to have multiple parasites of some kind hanging off it, which is not nice to look at.
