The limpkins came in after Ida and smashed the population of them. Went from being everywhere to very isolated. On blind river there were empty shells floating everywhere.

Less a shot and more a nugget. We worked at a warehouse part time and we used them for frozen goods.

Guess crawfish prices are going up



Crawfish lobby baws branching out from the usual excuses.

Next, we'll have the deadly chupacabra will be eating all of them and that means shortages = price increase.

They have limpkins all over Swla now and have done very little to thin out the population as whole
They have isolated spots where have helped but no big change

Just started seeing the snail kites around. But then limpkins some bad arse birds. Everyone should watch one catch and beat/eat a snail. Nature at its finest

Can rat lungworm survive cooking.
I know people eat these snails in other parts of the world.

I doubt the taste matters when you end up dead afterward.

The apple snails are everywhere around the Diversion Canal. The roadside ditches are full of them. I have seen the limpkins eating them but I have also heard of the natives eating the limpkins. I’m not sure the truth of that or not.

The Amite, Comite, and Blind River are full of them.

They showed up on the Tickfaw last year. Judging by the number of eggs I now see all over there is no going back.
