Thanks for the scud and crawfish sources.

I've read that Illinois has both the scuds and papershell crawfish. I was thinking I'd postpone getting any until next year; but remembered a shallow, fishless pond at the edge of one of our cattle pastures that might be a good site for them.

Is there a website where one could confirm the indigenous species to an area and the type of habitat they prefer?
