Escaped self-cloning mutant crayfish created in experimental breeding programmes have invaded a Belgian cemetery.
Hundreds of the duplicating crustaceans, which can dig down to up to a metre and are always female, pose a deadly threat to local biodiversity after colonising a historic Antwerp graveyard.
"It's impossible to round up all of them. It's like trying to empty the ocean with a thimble," said Kevin Scheers, of the Flemish Institute for Nature and Woodland Research.
Marbled crayfish, which travel across land and water at night and eat whatever they can, do not occur in nature and are banned by the European Union.

Send in the murder hornets
I’m afraid to read the actual story out of fear that it won’t be nearly as awesome as that headline!
So long, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, hello Cloned Female Mutant Crayfish.
Offer permits and free passage from Lafayette, Louisiana and their problem will be solved. The Cajins will eat every mud bug in sight.
No problem... just send a few cajuns over there for some crawfish boils. They’ll be gone in no time.
“Marbled crayfish, which travel across land and water at night and eat whatever they can...”
So THIS is how humanity ends...
Attack of the Killer Crayfish
Send them to Louisiana, there’s a bayou there looking for a good crawfish boil ingredient.
Send in the Cajuns, they will take care of them by serving them up to the locals. 8>)
Species....the Movie Sequel number 6.66
Mad scientist splices human female dna with mutant marble crayfish...creature becomes first female president...
best line of movie:”she needs the pink pill 3 day treatment...the oval office smells like Red Lobster!”
Send in Cajuns.
Make sure there is a lot of Zatarain’s and Old Bay seasonings, and tubs of butter!
Do the locals eat them with a side of Brussels Sprouts?
Well, if the Cajuns know the special words to use, they should be alright. “Klaatu Barada Nikto”
But, I recommend they say all the words correctly.

Shouldn’t screw with mother nature. I think they made a number of, what they call, horror films like this. But there is a solution without burning huge ants in the LA sewers. Just poison the entire cemetery. I don’t think there is anyone in there that will complain. And follow the trails they leave to get the rest. Common lye is about the best to use to take out colonies. But this will disqualify them to be organic as killing them used an artificial agent.

Just in time for Halloween!
Damn, but that is a great 2020 headline...
So the dreaded “Grey Goo” may turn out to be a lab-created marbled crayfish instead.
The flippin’ Belgians. It figures.
Qu’est ce qui pourrait aller mal? (What could go wrong?)
Nuke em from orbit.
