  Oh, these things are wild! A new species that clones itself rapidly, can carry a crayfish-killing plague, and is relatively rapidly colonizing the planet (freshwater only).

  This feels like a thing spiders do. They can produce several clutches of eggs after mating once. If, without a mate, they could just… do that, “even a single wolf spider egg can contaminate an entire planet.”

  Its a good year for crayfish sci-fi horror

    people often forget invasive species often bring diseases with them, that they are adapted to but in a new environment with others species that have no natural immunity, it would wipe native populations faster than the actual animal itself.
