Sand fleas are blood-sucking parasites that live in the sand along the ocean shore. They grow to about an eighth of an inch and can have a pink, light red, or brown body. Despite being small they are notorious for feasting on human skin and leaving behind the dreaded rash. Can you see the big eyes and the skinny beak? Sand flea is the common name for several species of small crustaceans of the order amphipoda. There are about 4,000 species among which over 300 live in freshwater and the rest live in marine waters. They usually measure between 0.5 centimetres (0.20 in) to 4 centimetres (1.6 in) in length, but some species can reach up to 5 centimetres (2.0 in).

Sand fleas are a type of insect that can be found on beaches around the world. They have an oval body and a long, thin neck that enables them to jump up to five feet. When they jump, they propel themselves by using their powerful hind legs.
They have a long snout and two pairs of eyes on either side of their head. In addition, they have wings and can fly short distances if needed. They are known as sand fleas because they live in sandy environments around the world.
Sand fleas are usually found near beaches and other waters where there is plenty of sand or dirt for them to burrow into. Sometimes they will burrow into wooden structures or even clothing if it is left out overnight!
The sand flea is a small, wingless insect that lives in sand dunes and other sandy environments. It feeds on plant roots and organic matter at the surface of the sand. The sand flea has special adaptations that allow it to move through the sand easily. It has a long, thin body and legs that are long enough to propel it through the sand. The front legs have pads on them that help them dig into soft soil or sand, while their hind legs are covered in hairs that help them grip onto dry grains of sand.
The sand flea can move quickly by using its feet to propel itself forward. When it needs to move more slowly or up an incline, it will use its front legs as levers to push itself forward with its hind legs pushing against the ground behind it.
Sand fleas are unique creatures. They are one of only a few species that can survive in both salt water and fresh water. They have adapted to live in this way by having a foot that is capable of being wet and dry at the same time, which allows them to move around on land or in water without taking time out to dry off.
From the outside, they look like tiny crabs with hard shells covering their bodies. Inside, their bodies are soft, but they have a hard shell that protects them from predators while they sleep or rest in between meals.
