p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Unusual find in the garden

A lawn shrimp I found under a bowl. I trapped it and took some shots on a wheelie bin lid before releasing it again. Their defensive posture seems to be to lay on their side and curl up a bit but they can really jump as well. About 6.0mm body length

5Dmk2/MPE-65/430Ex flash. Focus stacks using zerene.

Good pics!Lawn shrimp are a pest that most people have seen, but very few know them by name. They are the land dwelling version of marine shrimp.But they need moisture to survive.They live in moist ground about ½ inch from the surface.

Thanks for the comment and info
