Scyllarus arctus is a species of slipper lobster found throughout the Mediterranean Sea and the eastern Atlantic Ocean, from the Azores, Madeira, and the Canary Islands north to the English Channel, though it is uncommon in British and Irish waters. Known by vernacular names including the small European locust lobster, lesser slipper lobster, and broad lobster, it lives at depths of 4 to 50 meters on muddy or rocky bottoms and in Posidonia seagrass meadows, growing up to 16 centimeters long though typically 5 to 10 centimeters, with reddish-brown coloring, dark brown spots on its abdomen, and dark blue rings on its legs. The IUCN lists it as Least Concern. This description is adapted from Wikipedia contributors under CC BY-SA 4.0; changes were made. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/
