I suppose I like Walz, too, but how is it going to feel listening to him trying to justify sending more weapons to Israel?
Anyway, here are a pair of sand fleas my kid and her cousins found at the beach.

We always called those “sand crabs” and these sand fleas![image](https://d7fcfvvxwoz9e.cloudfront.net/dom43635/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/sandfly_example-1536x1024-1-1.jpg)
Those are also called “sand flies,” and they actually bite and suck blood and stuff. The things linked really are little crabs - we used to fish with them.
Hated those in Virginia. We’d call them horse flies, but we just called any fly that bites a horse fly.
Isn’t that a robber fly?
You know, on the page I found it, it says it’s a sand fly, but I think you’re right. Sand flys are really small, and I’m not sure I’ve seen a magnified version of them. Looking for other images, I think this is really one and the other is mislabeled:![image](https://media.npr.org/assets/img/2023/10/31/sciencesourceimages_2226824_custom-d345d49b2350e7df4c5ba3ea55769bcb2aeac2e2.jpg)
Isn’t that a Little Fly?
Looks kind of like what I used to call horse flies.
