You had me. I thought that was a crawdad hole at first too but realized it was too small. (Notice the different names we call them dependin on the part of the country we're from?) What is that thing called?

 

[Neogeo]

It's a female Stag Beetle....
It was the mud balls that told me it me it may not be a crawdad.they are smoother then those ones..
