Youbloodybeauty Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) A few weeks ago I saw these little creatures up the back of a beach in Phuket, near vegetation and wind had blown them into footsteps in the sand. There were many 100's (or more) of them and never saw them again after that day. I've shown this video to locals but no one knows what they are. Any idea what they are please?

Youbloodybeauty Posted October 27, 2016 Author Share Posted October 27, 2016 I wonder if an insect. Normally 6 legs but these look like 4 legs with 2 feelers. Maybe it grows up to be an ocean thingy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinnotes Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 These insects are called sea skaters or sea striders, they belong to family Gerridae, genus Halobates. Erwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
