Do you know what the cancer is?

Undoubtedly, lovers of active leisure onnature is a sign of this omnivorous inhabitant of fresh water bodies. However, in a large number of people, this arthropod is associated primarily with a delicious dish, which is usually served with a mug of beer in public catering establishments. However, not everyone knows what the cancer is.

I think that this question will be of interest to many. Cancer absorbs food of both plant and animal origin. During her search for an arthropod, she can move to shore and spend on land for a long time in order to detect prey. And yet, what does the cancer eat? If we talk about plant foods, then it primarily refers to buckwheat, urr, shoots and other. At the same time, cancer can not exist without products of animal origin. He actively eats larvae of caddis flies, tadpoles, small mollusks, sick fish, frogs. And what does the cancer still feed on? Of course, insects. Mosquitoes and flies are an integral part of his diet. It should be emphasized that the arthropod is eating more readily fresh food than decomposing. The nutrition of the cancer depends on the time of the year. Early in the spring, after moulting and during the breeding season, he sits on animal food. What does the cancer eat the rest of the time? Of course, plants.

Small crustaceans proceed to independentTaking food only after a week or two after birth, after they first have molting. At this time they actively eat various microorganisms. During the moulting process, the cancer does not eat anything, since its jaws are "updated" and internal lining of the posterior and anterior intestines occurs. After the end of the process, he begins to restore the expended forces. After the matrimonial period, arthropods also begin to eat intensively, as they accumulate reserves in order to winter.

And what do the hermit crab eat? The fact is that the considered species of arthropods belongs to the category of omnivores, therefore, in the diet of their food, along with the food listed above, decaying products, in particular carrion and corpses, may be included.

Some people are interested in knowing what they eatriver crayfish in the summer, when they become prey to those who prefer active recreational activities to nature. Their diet consists of aquatic plants, including horsetail, water lily, nettle, rdest, elodea. In winter, crayfish eat up fallen leaves. Males are saturated faster than females, while they eat more often. The arthropod, inhabiting the river, is searching for food while being in the immediate vicinity of the mink. In the event of a shortage of food, the cancer can retire from its home at a distance of 100-250 meters. He is most active in finding food for himself at dusk and at night. In the afternoon he prefers to hide from predators under the roots of trees or in burrows. Arthropods are well developed sense of smell, they feel the aroma of food at a long distance, especially if the process of decomposition of corpses of fry, frogs and other animals has begun.
