Beautiful lobster poster of the species Thalassina anomala, I have (yet) not been able to find a Danish name for the species, but the English one is scorpion mud lobster. Our little mud friend is also an important piece in a larger ecosystem, and can be found in the Indo-Pacific region, where it is, among other things, the most common crayfish in the wetlands of the Sundarbans, in India and Bangladesh.
The illustration is photographed from an older (1799) natural science German book about crustaceans such as crabs and lobsters. The book from which the illustration comes was written by Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst, who was a naturalist and has written many comprehensive works, which have been an important resource for researchers, biologists, etc.
