How can we have crayfish babies if there are no crayfish in the pond?

[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 502370, member: 3444"] From what I've read, at the outside, gestation can take up to 2 months for eggs to hatch depending on the water temperature. It's not that cold where we are. Lowest it's been in the past month is mid- to high-30s at night. It's possible I've misidentified them -- time will tell! We put the filters in a large tub where I have water plants I'm trying to grow and mosquito fish living. Those little critters will NOT come out of the filter no matter how much we shake it - they just burrow deeper. So maybe in a few weeks they'll be big enough to know for sure. Very odd. One year we had a bunch of red worms in the filter. NO idea where those came from! It's also possible husband missed seeing an adult crayfish in the pond... I don't think he got ALL the water out... might have been a few inches in the bottom (it's about 8 feet by 3 feet by 2 feet deep). And since it's a black liner, very easy for a wet, black crayfish to hide. [/QUOTE]
