Bugs have fall damage turned off.

@@hunternelson4003 this is the most simplistic way to put it and its just not wrong

[@shadowrosegaming3566]

Smaller the creature less damage from falling

[@FakeReclaimer]

@@hunternelson4003 that’s the best way anyone has ever explained it

[@DragonReaver]

@@shadowrosegaming3566 Actually if they are small enough they will never take damage from falling even if you drop them from a plane.

[@annaherbst8670]

I grew up calling them sand crabs, which makes them a lot cuter! After a little practice it's fairly easy to spot their little breathers from far away, and to catch them with your hands! Even when they get up to over an inch long they couldn't hurt you if they tried.

[@thefakeking]

I honestly had no idea he was talking about sand crabs at first, I remember going to the beach and catching them and putting them in buckets of water and sand and seeing them crawl around and bury themselves

[@aiixe]

I always called them kitties since I first found them on Kitty Hawk in North Carolina. I still call them kitties to this day :)

[@slicingonions4398]

Yes call them sand crabs not fleas lmao they are sooo cool nothing to worry about with them little guys

[@Fi6ment]

yess!! my grandpa taught me how to find sand crabs and i've taught all my younger cousins and sibling how to do it as well! there's never a trip to the beach without someone ending up finding a bucket full of sand crabs!

[@shocky2xo742]

I thought of an actual flea at beaches, but no, just little sand pigges❤️😊

[@Marynicole830]

People complain about getting bit by sand fleas though and I don’t think these things bite. They’re cute too

[@FloppyDonker]

@@Marynicole830 someone in my town went on a vacation and some of these little assholes decided to climb on their head, burrow, and lay eggs. When they came back the kids missed the beach so they played in the local sand pit. Let’s just say half the town getting infested and countless hours of sifting sand later they’re finally gone after like 2 years.

[@myusikah]

@@Marynicole830 no but sand fleas are tiny bugs that can hop up to maybe an average-height person's knee and do bite

[@SeanShimamoto]

Yes, because sand fleas are actual insects. They bite you and make you itch real bad. We have them in Hawaiʻi and they're not fun. I've never once heard anyone call sand crabs, sand turtles, or mole crabs by the colloquial term "sand fleas". That's definitely a new one for me. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culicoides

[@stevenhall9009]

@@Marynicole830 what he's catching here are mole crabs, so named because they can quickly burrow beneath the sand. Beach fleas or sand fleas are little copepods that you find hopping around on the beach if your turn over dead seaweed & they do bite.

@Anthrest Where I'm from there used to be a hermit crab seller near my old school and whenever school ended I would buy one and keep it until it got big or died, good times, and a waste of lunch money 😅

[@Astr0_rl]

Yeah sand crabs are so cute

[@AzurasHell]

I love hermit crabs I have 7 of them ^^ although they have a tendacy to tap on the glass and make cricket like noises at 3am 😂

[@Vullifer1074]

My family always asks why i don't want to go to the beach. I now have 1 more reason to give them.

[@Nanamowa]

Just a reminder that these are not fleas, they're shellfish. They taste good and if you like shrimp or crab, you'll probably like these, too.

[@eggtoast3763]

I always thought sea fleas were cute. When I was little the first thing id do at a beach is dig for them. I'd put them all in a bucket with a few other creatures and then put them back when I was done.

[@ShatteredGlass916]

They were delicious. I bought them a few time when i visit a beach in Indonesia. The local deep fried them, then season them with salt and msg

[@DomesticTerrarist]

This comment is very relatable

Sand crabs are so much fun to catch and hold!

[@moralester]

I loved playing with those things as a kid. Wait for the wave to come in and then get a big double scoop of sand and you can feel millions of them trying to wriggle through your fingers. Awesome little creatures

[@batpoisonz]

the way that hermit crab slowly peeked out to say hi... God I love them so much

[@dnkypnch7442]

We called them sand crabs and my brother and I would always dig for them. They tickled your hand when you hold them.

[@deathwolf420x5]

Always called ghost crabs sand crabs cause the do this too but they dig faster and deeper

[@lindsaysisk14]

I always knew them as sand fiddlers

[@HippyTrippy42o]

Same thing but they are more commonly known as sand fleas

[@amiistad]

i was so confused when you called them sand fleas because i’ve always called them sand pigs

[@2186kmr]

They are NOT creepy!!! They are cute and 100% harmless!!! ❤

[@brutus3631]

dude be careful! those can have parasites and bacteria that you do not want your little guy to get. please be mindful of that lol

[@damonwandebrch2467]

Should have at the minimum set up a quarantine tank.

They ARE sand crabs - crustaceans. Sand fleas are arthropods, completely different critter.

@@Mikishots kools, I thought I might have been wrong, but since I was a Kidd that's what we have called them

[@55Aarronneedham]

Was in Big Sur camping back in 2010 and got to see the bioluminescent plankton. (Had no idea something like that existed at the time) The sand flees were all glowing green under the sand and each step we took would light up and slowly fade, such an amazing experience.

[@undeadbones7165]

The hermit crab peeked out on some "are you really gonna eat me?" 🐚🦀

I accidentally caught some baby sand fleas and they were fun to watch. Also maybe if he likes them you cab start like a hatchery for them

[@monicainthegarden]

What about introducing wild cooties into the tank with the fleas? What is the life expectancy on that shrimp? So cute. 😍

"not worthy to be Kaisen's friend" translates to "i will not feed you to my pet"

You don't even need equipment to catch them. Stand at the water line. Tide comes in, you start digging. As long as your hand goes under them, they won't escape.

[@Oliverrr-]

Sand fleas are also known as sand piggies!! They are completely harmless just just live under the sand near the water to it's kinda cool when you fine one of those

Sand crabs!!!! I spent my childhood - and adult years, who am I kidding - digging these things up. I live on the eastern shore. I’m sorry, but when you said I don’t wanna touch it, I laughed a little bit. Lol they do feel really weird when they crawl on you. 😆

Once when I was younger I went to the beach with my school and when I got out of the water there where these isopod est creatures(looked a bit like rollie pollie bugs) that had nestled their way into my skin, deep. I was shitting bricks the whole time but I somehow got them fully out including the heads despite being 6 years old. Yes, it was Australia for those debating.
