When I was a kid, I walked on the beach as the waves splashed at my feet and I had this sharp pain on my ankle. I looked down and saw something like one of those small conch snail stuck on me. I pulled it off and was curious on what was it. 20 years later, the question still bothered me until now. I'm now grateful to know what these little things are.

I can practically swear I saw these on Florida's Atlantic Ocean side between tides. There was a huge amount in one spot on the beach,an area roughly 3'×3' with 3-4 other exceptionally smaller spots following where the surf hit. I noticed these because I had never seen these before and found it unusual. Is there a relative species on the Atlantic coast?

I sat on the beach in Thailand once, I was sitting on the towel and my feets were on the sand, sand was not wet, but moist, I felt lil sharp sting to my foot, instnctively I slapped the place with my hand and I felt some small creature was on my foot, felt down exactly when I looked down to my foot and in same moment dissapeared in the sand and left a lil hole behind (I thought I saw something for quorter of sec, as lil black worm, but could be my imagination as well). Suddenly I saw thousands of lil holes all around me covering whole beach. I put on my flip flops really quick, grabbed my towel and got lost from there. I never saw the lil creature, asked around what could it be, thought it was type of worm? Till today I ve never found out what it was, maybe it was this thing? Anybody have any idea? The vaves were not coming over the beach at that time.

I encountered small isopods at the Black Sea. Stand at the swash zone and let your feet sink into the sand, then lift them up and you can see dozens of those little guys scurrying away to hide back in the sand. The biting ones don't live there, fortunately.

Great, now I'm scared of going to the beach barefoot because of isopods using the power of spin.

I was gonna say, I’ve never seen them before. They’re only found on the pacific, that explains why.
