An Illustrated Id Guide To The Crayfishes Found In Nebraska Native And Non-Native, Steve Schainost
Nebraska Invasive Species Program
There are five crayfishes native to Nebraska. These are:
Orconectes immunis (papershell crayfish)
Orconectes virilis (northern crayfish)
Orconectes neglectus neglectus (ringed crayfish)
Cambarus diogenes (Devil crayfish)
Procambarus gracilis (prairie crayfish)
Three additional non-native crayfishes have also been found here:
Orconectes rusticus (rusty crayfish) [bait tanks and established in two ponds in Omaha]
Procambarus clarkii (red swamp crayfish) [bait tanks]
Procambarus acutus (White River crayfish) [bait tanks]
I will attempt here to provide a photographic guide to field identification, one species per page.
