A Maine lobsterman says he and his 14-year-old daughter
caught a one-in-two-million crustacean: a blue lobster.
WCSH-TV reports Jay LaPlante of the Miss Meghan
Lobster Catch company caught the curious creature in Scarborough around
10:45 a.m. Saturday. LaPlante and daughter Meghan were hauling traps
when she discovered the bright blue critter.
The
story has a happy ending for the lobster. Meghan says she is naming it
Skyler and donating it to the Maine State Aquarium, far from any dinner
rolls or pats of butter. The aquarium says it has three other blue
lobsters and an orange one.
LaPlante says it's the first time he has caught a blue lobster.
