Naturalized Laos crayfish MACROBRACHIUM ROSENBERGI
PU1280
This freshwater crayfish from Laos belongs to the family of decapods — crustaceans with ten legs, including a prominent pair of blue claws. It is displayed here in an elegant glass case, highlighting the natural contrasts of its carapace: warm orange-brown tones body subtly accented by bluish shades on the joints and claws.
The species MACROBRACHIUM ROSENBERGI, also known as the “giant Malaysian prawn,” can reach over 30 cm in length in some rivers, making it a sought-after specimen both in restaurants, and among collectors!
A zoological curiosity presented in the spirit of 19th-century naturalist displays.
