A friendly tussle. by kartia

A friendly tussle.

Some of you may remember our Red clawed yabby I posted some time ago. One has had young, eggs took 13 weeks to develop so it felt like forever for the kids to wait but now in school holidays they have flown the coop. I've no idea of the correct yabby terminology :) If you look carefully you'll see this little guy running from the snail. He's one day out of home and approx 3mm long. It was very challenging to focus on him with the size combined with him running for his life, and water distortion all in the mix!
Super capture!

Well done for capturing this tiny Yabby. Look forward to hearing how it does.

Great shot. Very interesting narrative. I hope the little one made it to safety.

@wakelys there's about 100 of them 😱 I'm hoping some will 'move out' to our pond outside come summer!

I've only associated yabbies with fishing. Don't tell the kids. Good shot

Well captured, the poor little yabby looks terrified.

Oh my , great shot!

@mirroroflife as kids we used to catch them in the creek to eat. My Kids think I’m barbaric to talk about eating their pets!!

Well done with your focus, it sure must have been tricky under the circumstances.

Nice focus

A FAVE is a must under your trying circumstances and ultimate success! That focus is perfect, and I often struggle to just photograph a scene through a window! I get it!!!

Well done photo apart from the dramatic struggle!!

Great shot, though at first I didn’t know what you meant as couldn’t see the critter. But quite amazing when enlarged! Have never heard of a yabby.

Yes, Spot it. soooo cool.

Lovely shot

What is a yabbie??
July 14th, 2022  
@mave they’re a native Australian crayfish that live in freshwater. Taste like lobster!

Very dramatic story and great shot

Great shot. Don't worry, the smartest ones will survive hidden somewhere in the plants. These are the laws of nature.

Wow! You managed to get a great shot of the little guy!
July 15th, 2022  
Wonderful shot
