Sand-hopper

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“The Common Sand-hopper, Talitrus locusta, which may be met with in thousands upon thousands of European shores, is a well-known example of this family. Although its length is not much more than half an inch, it can leap several inches into the air, and the facility with which it escapes pursuit by burrowing into the soft wet sand is truly wonderful.” — Goodrich, 1859
