Found this guy jumping about on the kitchen floor after I had lifted a bucket bought in from outside.

A lawn shrimp- certainly look as if they belong in water but seem to like living under pots and things in my garden.

Very strange. I've not heard of terrestrial amphipods. BugGuide has this to say on their distribution: "Southeastern Australia (New South Wales and Victoria), as well as nearby areas of the Pacific, but introduced into New Zealand, the British Isles, Florida and California."

Interesting I had always thought them native to the British Isles but apparently they were first spotted in 1920.

Thanks- no not a flea- quite a bit bigger than that (about 8mm body length) but they can jump pretty well.
