Crayfish are omnivorous, meaning that they can (and will) eat pretty much anything that sits still long enough to be eaten. They may also grab and eat anything that is small and unwary enough to cross their path too closely. They are happy to scavenge, and will certainly not waste the opportunity to feast upon carcasses. Mature crayfish most actively feed at night.
Crabs pinch as a self defense mechanism. Crabs pinch when they're scared of falling like when you're holding them improperly. They also pinch if they feel threatened.
What is the excretory organ of a crab?
Marine crabs breathe underwater using gills, which are located in a two cavities under the carapace. True land crabs have enlarged, modified cavities that act like lungs so that the land crabs can breathe air

Yes, crabapples are edible but they are very sour nd it is not recommended to eat them raw, but boiling them in sugar makes a very tasty jelly and some crabapples are used in ciders for a new tasty flavor
How does a crab breathe on land?
Crabs need oxygen, just like we do, but instead of using lungs inside the body they use gills outside the body to obtain it.
The mouthparts are visible on the underside of a crab. The gills through which the animal obtains oxygen cannot be seen. They are soft structures under the side of the shell.
Their shells help to trap water near their gills so that they can still breathe the oxygen .
So that they can molt in peace. Their life consists of eating "normal food", sleeping, crawling, burrowing, molting, eating "old dead skin", eating "normal food", sleeping, crawling, burrowing, molting, eating "old dead skin".....repeat over & over & over.
If their human adds a saltwater aquarium, then they will lay eggs somewhere in that sequence.
Otherwise it remains the same life cycle.
Are crabs at the bottom of the food chain?
They act as street cleaners because since they are decomposers, they have to pick up all the bacteria and waste from secondary consumers, primary consumers, and producers. That's why they are considered at the top of the food chain knowing that producers are at the bottom because they provide so much.
In biological circles, the producers or autotrophs are plants and green algae, which capture energy from sunlight to produce their own food, or in other words to capture carbon into the food chain. By contrast, crabs eat other organisms and are thus variously classified as omnivorous, often predatory; as such they are categorized as heterotrophs, or as consumers.
