Hi. I have lots of small hopping brown shrimp/flea like bugs in the
garden hiding under leaves, stones etc. Are they Arcitalitrus
Sylvaticus?
What do they do, are they harmfull in any way and is there anything I
should do about them?
Thanks.

We used to have those critters when we lived by the sea but not seen them
anywhere else

There's a beach, somewhere around Barmouth, Wales: I used to go
there on holiday in the '60's. The beach was alive with sandhoppers.
