Mudbugs are also known as crawdads, crayfish, and crawfish. They are edible crustaceans related to shrimp and lobsters. When I was visiting Arkansas recently, it was hot and dry. I ran across a crawdad city in a ditch next to the road. Crawdads often live in water, but also dig burrows in dirt until they reach mud/moisture. They carry the extra mud to the surface making a tall “mud chimney” around the entrance to their burrow.
