Microscoptic purple jumping bugs!
20 years ago
We found these bugs collecting on a wet wooden stair and on wet concrete. They were tiny, but if you looked closely you could see them all jumping. My Kindergarteners were very intersted (as were the teachers) in what kind of bug this was. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
