Dwarf Crayfish Eggs

It doesn't come out well on YouTube, but I filmed one of my dwarf crayfish during meal time. You can see the eggs she is carrying. Even with the degradation of the quality in YouTube, you can see the eyes that are developing. The original video shows thin antennae as well. It's really a trip.

That's fantastic! I noticed that she's cleaning the eggs with one set of legs while she's eating.

Yeah, just like my mom did to me when I was little, except it was swatting my behind while cooking when I was trying to sneak into the cookie jar. Great mothers.
