Europa - Underwater Fauna and Flora

Astacus astacus known as the European crayfish, noble crayfish or broad-fingered crayfish, immortalized in one of the newest Lithuanian stamps, is found in fresh, clean water bodies, rivers and lakes. It is common throughout Europe, but in Lithuania it is considered an endangered species.

Dwarf White Water Lily (Nymphaea candida) can be seen in various stagnant or slow-flowing waters in Lithuania. This flower is sometimes considered a subspecies of the common water lily. It blooms in June-August.
