snapping shrimp photos

Hi folks
I am taxonomist at the National Natural History Museum in Paris, France, and the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada.
I am searching for pictures of Australian snapping shrimps and other shrimps, especially from Western Australia and New South Wales, but also from elsewhere in Australia, New Zealand, PNG etc.
the pictures help me to identify the colour patterns, which may be very important for species identification, even if the specimen is not collected.
you can believe me, the taxonomy of Australian alpheids is still in poor state and needs a major revision.
anyway, if you have something interesting for me, please let me know ! my email: artour_a@yahoo.com
and if you want, I can help to identify your shrimp and crab critters, too
greetings from Canada
cheers
Art

Bula Baby!Bula Baby!
It all started on flying in early on Friday the 22nd (a day before the rest of the crew, which were coming from the US). I received the most wonderful welcome and had a great time scoping out my new home for the next week and a half before having a great nights rest in my DOUBLE KING sized bed, meaning that it was about 4m wide (never knew they made beds that large!). I awoke to the sound of "Yeeeehaw" echoing through the place and knew at once that the Texans and the rest of the gang had arrived.
