Q: Do crayfish have eyes?
State: California
Habitat: pond/lake
A: They sure do! Their eyes probably don't see things as clearly as ours do but they can certainly see well enough to avoid predators and find other crayfish. I did find a nice website with some photographs you may want to check out. Toward the bottom of the page there is nice photo of an orange crayfish.

Click on the photo to enlarge it and you'll get a nice view of its eyes. Thanks for asking and I hope this helps.
