A Bristletail, which by all means looks like a "land shrimp" to me. It even knows how to hop.
A lousy 2 picture stack.

Can Anyone ID this one for me, please?
Obviously it's not called a "shrimp hopper" (i've googled that LOL)

A dragonfly with antenna? seems that it has no mouth parts.

At first glance, I thought why the heck an antlion is on a plant. Upon closer inspection, it was in fact a lacewing larva.
The ants kept bugging it for some unknown reason. I found the answer in another picture, the 2 are fighting for secretions from the plant.

One more odd stuff.
Is this a shell-less snail? I googled the term, but they don't look like this.

Interesting series of find.

BTW you are restricted to eight images per thread so I have converted the last to a link.
