      Sand fleas are not harmful to humans in any way. They are just little crustaceans.

      You'd struggle to find a crustacean that isn't both edible and delicious to be honest.

    So I'm aware of the difference between the borrowing sand crabs and sand fleas,that they often get mixed up due to colloquial terms being interchangable between the two groups. But my question is why are they considered such a burden to the trainee marines of paris island if their diet consists of seaweed?

      @@AnimalFactFiles I'm guessing a woodlouse/lice as we call them in England, we have another type that can roll into a ball that we call pea bugs. No wonder this species is ancient, it has adapted to so many dierent environments. The deep sea Isopod is the penultimate adaptation though IMO.

    “Actually a crustacean”.... like crustaceans aren’t just insects that live in the sea -_-

    • @frankenstein6677
      @frankenstein6677 10 месяцев назад

      Insects and crustaceans descend from the same group of marine arthropods, but are very different groups. Insects are hexapods within Pancrustacea, a taxon that includes crustaceans and many lesser known and extinct groups.
      If you consider all pancrustaceans to be crustaceans, insects are land crustaceans, not the opposite.

      No. That's explained in the video. Jiggers are actual fleas with no close relation to these.
