Have you ever noticed the little translucent critters that leap about when you disturb sand at the beach?
The native landhopper, Makawe hurleyi, sometimes called ‘lawn shrimp’, is the land-lubbing version of the beach hopper.
A true ‘litter-critter’, it spends its short but important life munching detritus in our grasslands and forests.
