some pack a wallop with those pincers too if they get a chance. we used to call em crawlies ,and as a kid living in moan on the coast we used to have a crawlie creek.
trick was to grab one of mums forks ,tie it on a stick and spear em.I got nailed by a big bastard that lived in a hole -hell it hurt -put me off crayfish for years.(wuss)
used to cook em up and eat the tails. if i remeber a piece of flax or longish grass wiggled in front would stir em up .
