Roly-polies, Beach hoppers, and Ghost crabs, oh my!
Did you know that when you walk on the wet beach sand or scoop it up to make sandcastles, these tiny creatures hop or burrow down to escape? To survive, they wait for the next wave to bring them plankton, wrack, and decay matter. As a native Floridian, I am familiar with our beaches, but I had not given these creatures much thought. I hope this mosaic lets your imagination ponder what lives and works beneath your feet the next time you visit Florida’s beaches.
