Just because its different doesn’t mean its mutated. Yeah, it big. so what? We’re all different from each other, doesn’t mean we’re weird and mutated. I say its just a new species of crustacean, a close cousin of trilobites or lobsters, or heck, maybe pill bugs as Sky king said. I say leave them alone and they’ll multiply, when they’re plentiful, u can eat them, Sky, lol. But right now, give them some peace

“Pill bug” was the first thing that popped into my mind on seeing the critter. Turns out I was right. Are these things good to eat?

It really does look like a mutant lobster.

I’d say boil some water but it also kinda looks likes a really big flea!

Separately, both me and my 12 yr. old daughter looked at it, and the first thing we thought was, “A giant pillbug!” If anyone has ever seen the little roly polies, that gigantic thing ought to be familiar right away.

After looking at it, I got to thinking that it looked like a lobster tail that has a life of its own. Too bad that succulent thing probably tastes like what it eats.

As soon as I saw this, I immediately recognized it. It’s not much more than a larger version of a slipper lobster (yes I know they are not the same animal!). It’s amazing how often people release pictures of well-known species and claim they are something mysterious and unknown. Visit some of the lesser known crypto-forums and you’ll see people posting all sorts of garbage proclaiming them to be new species.

As for this guy in the picture, get me a toasted hot dog roll, some mayonnaise, and a bit of lettuce! Maybe some fries with vinegar on the side…..
