When we moved in in May, there was a hole I noticed. Now the hole has grown with this dirt clump on top. I've never seen anything like it.

I've seen them before, but never knew. Assumed snake or something related. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mudbug. Interdasting. I just searched that image and it does look like that. I wonder why it's up against the house. Thanks! |

Yep. Mudbug, crawdad, crawfish, Missouri lobster, fishing bait, and other various names we give these crustaceans.

Yup they are from crawdads. I get them all of the time in the drainage ditch since it doesn't drain properly and is always wet. I have also found them in my garden too. Now if I could only catch enough of them to fix crawdad etouffee or they are big enough for fish bait, I would be happy happy happy.

I call that a crawdad castle. I see them a lot in some creek bottom ground I farm in the spring.

Cicada killers also dig similar holes.
