Could you do me a favor? Since you know what you're looking for, will you see if you can find any videos of this? I looked, but either my keywords are bad, or there just aren't any. I'm assuming it's bad keywords. That's absolutely wild.

    I tried. This isn't a very good video, but you can kinda see it's still trying to crawl away after it's been eaten at several points. I might have had 20 or so in a pile fresh out of the water and they were much more active. I hope this helps.

    I like the fat ones. The long ones don't taste good.
