Family of amphipoda
Megalorchestia corniculata Talitridae is a family of amphipods . Terrestrial species are often referred to as landhoppers and beach dwellers are called sandhoppers or sand fleas . The name sand flea is misleading, though, because these talitrid amphipods are not siphonapterans (true fleas ), do not bite people, and are not limited to sandy beaches. [ 1]
Marine amphipods are often washed up in the strandline , but die rapidly on drying out. Talitrids differ in being able to survive for a long time out of water; some Southern Hemisphere species are entirely terrestrial. [ 2]
