With a tank full of its own ‘home brew’, we dumped it in to see what would happen.<BR/><BR/>Have you ever seen about a million fully-formed, perfect, little, tiny crayfish not all that much bigger than an eyelash? It’s a hoot…until you realize the next morning that there are only about half a million, and the next day only half that!<BR/><BR/>Yes, voracious is a good word, carnivorous is another…<BR/><BR/>We had to hurriedly get them back to their place of origin before we ended up with only one or two; which would have been unconscionable. I had no idea the little things could eat so much, or so fast. <BR/><BR/>You remind me of me…but able to put your world into lovely prose that I wonder if you aren’t also a poet. I hope you’re keeping this stuff for a book you’ll publish soon.<BR/><BR/>BeverlyBeverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09334121900896195207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-42659039216156869072008-04-29T16:35:00.000-04:002008-04-29T16:35:00.000-04:00This is so cool, Nina.
