Cambarus asperimanus (Mitten crayfish)
I was at the base of a small waterfall on Peach Orchard Branch in the Jocassee Gorges Wildlife Management Area in Pickens County South Carolina. About 10 feet up on a rock ledge was this critter scurrying around. This species burrows among rocks in cascades of small mountain streams. Thanks to Dr. John Cooper for the identification.
