The only issue I have with the photo is that it is bright red. Most of these types of critters don't turn bright red until they are cooked. Maybe it was posed just before it was consumed?

In Texas and Louisiana they are know as "mudbugs", and I do suck the heads!

Actually, "langostina" sounds like a wrong transcription of the spanish word "langostino" (Penaeus Kerathurus). The closest that "Languste" sounds to a spanish word is "Langosta". The Langosta does have big claws. There are many "langostas", but the one pictured in the photo looks like a Bogavante (Homarus Gammarus).

I think that Beletseri is correct.

The red color of the creature indicates a boiled or dehydrated lobster.

Dehydration doesn't seem to be this lobster's problem!

Nothing wrong with that. But the Cigala (Norway Lobster) is somewhat reddish, and it's quite similar to the sucker portrayed here. Not brightly red, mind you, but we can only guess about optics and the such in this photo.

This guy is a Cangrejo Real. It's not a lobster, but it is red.

This other guy is a Norway Lobster.

Here is another photo, of... other lobster. Red, not boiled.

What I mean is: you don't have to be boiled to be red, even if you are a lobster.

How amusing :D
