Lawn Shrimp (or Land Hopper)

Damp soil, leaf litter, and mulch; often migrate to pavement or indoors after heavy rain.

Scavengers that feed on decaying organic matter and detritus.

They are terrestrial crustaceans that require high moisture levels to breathe. They are known for jumping when disturbed and often die quickly and turn pink/red when they lose moisture.

They are harmless to humans, pets, and structures. They benefit the ecosystem by decomposing organic matter, though they can be a minor nuisance when they enter homes in large numbers.
