U said they dont bite? Arent these the things that annihilate u with endless bites at night in the sand? Everyone calls those biting pests sand fleas. R these a different kind? .that bite and eat eachother, but NOT people?
I just read something that said biting sandfleas are crustaceans that normally feed on washed up dead and rotting plant material, and unintentionally bite people when they land on them. So these ARE the ones that destroy ur legs at the beach!

hello, I'm ilhamfajar from Indonesia, I really like this deep look video. I hope that from your deep look video you can add an Indonesian translation so that I understand better in seeing your deep look video. because your video is very helpful in science which probably not many people know.
I apologize in advance and thank you for your attention. my greetings from Indonesia

These things always freaked me out. I went to college in Santa Barbara and these would be covering the sandy shore of the beaches at night. I had no idea what they were and I named them shrimp termites. For sure not a pleasant experience while trying to enjoy an evening walk on the beach.

I get a prickly looking rash on my legs every time I go to the beach and was always told it was bites from sand fleas. Doesn't matter which beach in the USA I still get prickly looking rash on my legs. I never go in farther then my legs.

thanks deep look: ) because of your videos, you have helped me get over my phobias related to bugs. now i know the bugs i squish with a tissue are actually important parts of life.
reply

I thought they were isopods but they aren't at all. They are actually more like krill rather than pill bugs.
Dang my eyes fooled me again. Plus thanks for the deep look like.

they can be eaten, but first they need to be soaked in fresh water for a few hours and then lemon or lime juice overnight and then cooked. If done right they taste all right

I am looking for this when I was a kid under stones but our home is not near any beach, is there other species of this crustacean that lives not near beaches?

Is high is my knee are you suspecting I'm a short person because I am not I am above average height so that would be probably inaccurate assumption you made
reply

Here in Philippines there so many beach hoppers but not in the sand but dirt hidden under the rock or dirt. and they actually bite.
reply

lack of information, they do bite but not too itchy and they can illuminate vanishing color blue at night. sorry for my grammar.

Adopting the theory of nature, when cannibalism is exist on certain group it must be because their population is too much.
reply

So in the description you didn't mention Asia. And I haven't seen or heard about it in Asia so can it be found here?
reply

I was thinking of how cute these critters are. until I came to the part where I'm told they sometimes eat each other.
reply

This is truly beautiful and watch them do backflips over the sand and watch them dance nature is truly great
reply

I used to have these as pets and feed them flies and they rip their heads of so fast LOL they are so fun as pets.
reply

We play with these in my childhood beside the canal they do like wet soil environment. Wish I would see ons.
reply

I like these videos cause they make things that look weird even weirder but cooler somehow to know about it
reply

Since they look for shadowy blobs for food then does that mean they would try to eat a dark colored towel
