I found one today in Hyannis,Cape Cod that appears to have died in the last few days. I’ve never seen one in my whole life on the Cape. It was in the harbor where i had been
dredging way up in a small creek.

Thanks for posting information on the mantis shrimp! My dad had caught one earlier today (in Guam) and we were wondering what the heck it was! lol.

I inadvedrtently caught a manis shrimp four yeas ago down here in San Diego. they are a particularly evil looking creature and i can attest to how fast they can strike, If there hadn’t been a DFG biologist checking catches on the boat ramp I would have never found out what the hell the thing was.

i am very happy to hear that Cape is their Northernmost range on the Eastern seaboard, b/c that thing is horrifying. it’s almost Lovecraftian.
