Thenus orientalis is a species of slipper lobster from the Indian and Pacific oceans.
T. orientalis is known by a number of common names. The United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization prefers the name flathead lobster, while the official Australian name is Bay lobster.[3][4] In Australia, it is more widely known as the Moreton Bay bug after Moreton Bay, a location in Queensland.[4] In Singapore, both the flathead lobster and true crayfish are confusingly called crayfish. They are popularly used in many Singaporean dishes.[5][6][7][8][9]
T. orientalis has a strongly depressed body, and grows to a maximum body length of 25 centimetres (9.8 in), or a carapace length of 8 cm (3.1 in).[3]
Thenus orientalis has an Indo-West Pacific distribution, ranging from the east coast of Africa (southern Red Sea to Natal) to China, southern Japan, the Philippines and along the northern coast of Australia from Western Australia to Queensland.[3] They are also caught on a small scale off the shores of Malaysia and Singapore.[3]

What Does She Look Like?
by: The HoneyzI never thought that love could be unkind
'Cos your the type of guy I thought I'd never find
I thought I could forget you and be strong
But the love I have inside makes me hold on
And now I am beside myself
I think of you and no one else
You held me tight I felt so safe
And now I know I've been replaced
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us to leave
You'll never know the hurt you put me through
Cos you're loving her while I was loving you
You took my heart and ripped it into shreads
And now your heart is with that girl in your bed
I know I'm just a memory
But I will love you endlessly
You cherished me
You made me strong
You gave me strength to carry onWhat does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us
Don't you think I'll sit there crying over you
Baby, don't you take me for a fool no, no, no
I'll think of you along the way
I'll get over you I hope and pray
If I was not the one for you
Why did you choose me? to make me blue?
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us
What does she look like?
Why was she so right?
That you gave your love to her
Baby, didn't I deserve
To hold you
Baby, to show you
That the love I have inside to give
Was enough for us to leave
