Re: Are Mantis Shrimp an Invasive Species
Yes there are many species in Florida and I am sure all over. Not invasive here. Just about anywhere you flip over flat rock they are there. They are very fast running. There are 2 types the cutter claw ones and the club claw type. Both will pop you but the cutters will cut you. The clubbers break open snails. The real big ones dig holes in the sand. They are cutters. Usually not near shore. The big ones can just about cut off your finger. A good sized big one will have a tail about as much meat as a just legal Florida lobster. They are thin but long. Good eating.
