Anyone else in the UK discovered these little critters?
I had never seen these in my garden (been here over 20 years) until last year when I lifted a plant pot and they started hopping about like mad. Something disconcerting about them compared to other ‘creepy crawlies’!
They remind me of tiny shrimp we’ve seen when digging in the sand on some beaches in West Wales - I wonder if we could have brought something home which likes the garden!
Seems possible that builders introduced something with raw materials a few years ago when doing stuff at the house, or that they came with some small potted plants/herbs over the years.
I think it’s the colour but they make me think of giant fleas, and they can hop several feet in a few seconds.
