I suppose I like Walz, too, but how is it going to feel listening to him trying to justify sending more weapons to Israel?
Anyway, here are a pair of sand fleas my kid and her cousins found at the beach.

Totally harmless, if a bit ugly. Not sure why we called them sand crabs when I was a kid and would catch them in a bucket. All they do is try to burrow and hide under wet sand, so when you hold them they try to crawl into your hand. It tickles a little.
Nope
They jump on your legs when you try and sleep on the beach. 0/10
What? No way, these things can’t jump! There might be actual sand fleas or other bugs that do that, but not what this guy has in the picture
They’ll stay still for a while in your hand, but then start trying to scurry causing them to clumsily “jump” away.
