Crayfish
Crayfish (also called crawfish or crawdads) are freshwater crustaceans that look like a small lobster. Crayfish feed on plants, frog eggs, insects, and small fish. Crawfish boils and dishes with crayfish in them are very common in Louisiana. Louisiana supplies about 95% of the crayfish harvested in the US.

Insects must have a head, thorax, and abdomen. They have three pairs of legs and usually two pairs of wings. The crayfish obviously doesn't have wings, (not sure about the other requirements) so it is not an insect.
What happens to digested nutrients in crayfish?
Food is handled and processed first by the mouthparts and then is crushed by the mandibles before being swallowed. It then makes its way through the three main regions of the digestive system. Any remaining material (not digested) is packaged into fecal pellets surrounding by a mucous membrane. Contractions of the midgut force the pellets along to the hindgut and into the enlarged rectum. Rapid rectal contractions push the pellets out the anus at the base of the tail.

No, they are not seafood! They are commonly mistaken as seafood but in reality they are a type of freshwater shellfish that are raised in freshwater ponds and can even be found in ditches that retain water, hence one of their nicknames of "mud bugs".
No. The aquatic kind of spiracle (such as you'd find on rays and skates) could be located only on cartilaginous fish, or the most primitive of the bony fish. The loosest definition of spiracles seems to include a respiratory opening such as the blowhole in whales; lobsters do have ventral openings to the gills but these are anatomically dissimilar to those. (Also since lobsters are aquatic, they do not possess spiracles of the type you'd find on insects.)
Tie up the lobster's claws and then hold its body with two hands. After that, crack it in half. The most humane way is to put the live Lobster into the deep freeze for about an hour before you want to cook it, this shuts down the Lobsters systems, it goes into a deep sleep, then drop it into lots of boiling water to cook it.

What kind of environment do crawdads live in?
They live in clear water with not a lot of space though, that bothers them. Crawdads want to be stuck in a tiny space because their dark color blends in with the things that it is squished between when something is chasing it. Now when you see pink things on its tail, that just means that is very healthy and that it is about to give birth!

What is the term for the crayfish's pincher's?
The term for the crayfish's pinchers is chelae. The chelae are two pincher-like claws that can be found on the front of the crayfish's body and are used for hunting, defense, and helping the crayfish to move. The chelae are connected to a series of muscles and tendons, which allow them to open and close. The chelae are also covered in sensory hairs that help the crayfish detect its environment. They can be used to grab and hold onto food, as well as helping the crayfish to climb and dig.
