Escaped self-cloning mutant crayfish created in experimental breeding programs have invaded a Belgian cemetery. Hundreds of the duplicating crustaceans, which can dig down to up to a meter and are always female, pose a deadly threat to local biodiversity after colonizing a historic Antwerp graveyard. “It’s impossible to round up all of them. It’s like trying to empty the ocean with a thimble,” said Kevin Scheers of the Flemish Institute for Nature and Woodland Research. Marbled crayfish, which travel across land and water at night and eat whatever they can, do not occur in nature and are banned by the European Union. Instead the freshwater beasts, which are about 10cm big and voracious, are thought to have been bred by unscrupulous German pet traders in the 1990s.
They are similar to the slough crayfish found in Florida but are parthenogenetic, which means they reproduce with themselves and all their children are genetically identical females.

You know my favorite thing about crawfish boils? The Corn on the Cob! It comes out all spicy and tasty, you don’t even have to put any butter on it.

It’s a 2020 thing!
"And when we didn't have mutant crayfish, we ate sand!"
That was my thought too. Its no Louisiana Lobster but certainly big enough to eat.
My parents hunted & fished -- so, I've eaten 'most everything that walks, flies, swims, or crawls. Some of the very best meat I've ever eaten was barbecued young raccoon.

It’s all in the prep. It’s such rich, dense meat, a little goes a long way. I like it parboiled (3x after fat removal), layered with bacon and sweet potatoes, then baked low and slow.
As for the crayfish, they eat garbage anyway (as do coons), so no reason to flinch at a cemetery.
Cajun Man asks, “but how do they taste?”
I’d like to get me a couple bushels of them there mudbugs!
