A lobsterman says one of his traps caught a one-in-two-million crustacean: a聽blue聽lobster.

reports Jay LaPlante of the Miss Meghan聽Lobster聽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聽blue聽critter.

The story has a happy ending for the聽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聽blue聽lobsters聽and an orange one.

LaPlante says it's the first time he has caught a聽blue聽lobster.
