Hi!
I was looking in my terarrium, and the bottom of it is covered in sand. All the plants in there are carnivorous, so i'm not TOO worried about bugs in there. But i wanted to know what these are and how to deal with them in case they somehow get outside the terarrium >.o *its got a plexy glass cover that the flourescent lights sit on*

So ya, i have a layer of sand on the bottom, and that's the only reason i can see em. They're very teeny tiny, like little sliver shaped black spots. If i look at em with a magnifying glass, they move a lot like a snake, where their butt takes the same path of their head, kinda like slivering.

Oh! and here's the scary part! If i try to catch em and squish em, they hop away really fast! I CAN'T catch these pooheads! I saw one sitting on top of the humidifier in there *which consists of a blank CD container upsidedown full of water*, and it was just going on and on bouncing around o.O Its so fast too!

But ya, can you tell me what these are? Will they hurt my plants? Are they fleez?

Buglady?

Thanks ^.^
