Original - Cherax sp, Leura Cascade, Katoomba, Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia

Reason: This fellow gave me a nip on the toe whilst I was photographing a cascade. Naturally I caught it and placed it into a slightly shallower rock pool to allow a photograph or two. I think the image quality is pretty good considering that the subject is under relatively turbulent water. There are only a handful of yabby photos on commons.

Comment: The image quality isn't bad, but I'm not certain it's adding much to either article at the moment. Is there no way you could be more certain about the species? If so, we could create a stub article for the species and have instant EV there... J Milburn (talk) 11:46, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Its true, but I can't find an online reference to id it and I haven't a clue who to contact. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I tried a quick Google search, but the majority of hits are how to cook or catch them, which is a little sad. I'll ask at Wikipedia:WikiProject Arthropods, see if they can point us in the right direction. J Milburn (talk) 17:23, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
