Runner-up underwater world: Intruder by Wahrmut sobainsky (Germany). ‘The American crayfish, an invasive species in our country, was introduced from North America to central Europe around 1890. It not only drives out the local crayfish species in frightening measures, but also passes on the crayfish plague to which it is immune. This predominantly nocturnal species is mostly found sitting on visually unattractive sand or mud; much to the photographer’s joy, this one here obviously prefers the greenery of a German lake among tiny water snails’.
