They burrow when the water drys up, they will (hole-up) till the water returns. They hatch when the water is high in the spring and wash into the creeks and rivers.

Pond owners are not usually fond of the burrowing type....anything that digs into the dam is a no-no.....

Yeah, the leave these tell-tale mud "towers".  I've actually heard that the burrowing species of Crawfish are more rare than the stream-bed variety.

I usually just find a shallow stream with a rocky bottom, and use a small net, like the ones you use to dip minnows from a bucket.  Start flipping over rocks, and catch them.

My son kept one a long time in an aquarium. Along with various water creatures he caught in the creek. Fish, mussels ,tadpoles and snails.

Yeah I'm gonna look it up. I may need to get a trap.

Can you keep them in an aquarium?

Towers?

They are but hard to catch. Find standing water or a slow moving ditch. Look for tell tale towers. Use a garden rake to pull them up or a small dip net.

Okay, I would not have expected them there
