Bill D, you might remember me telling my story of my grandson and I catching hundreds of crawfish in the bogs on my land and then moving these baby craws to the pond. I watched these crawfish grow in size and many were (I believe eaten). These crawfish turned out to be Red Swamps and are found all over this area (most likely due to crawfish farmers here). in my research I discovered these are abundant in the USA and are found in southern Illinois. I also read they will overtake a native species.. My point is, if the red swamps are in your area, then I would not expect the papershells to last for very long. I may be wrong as it would not be the first time for me.
