Does any New Yorker recognize....

the bug I am going to explain...... :wave2:

Here is the story: I know what it is NOT. I just don't know what it IS. I am guessing NY/LI people might know what they are. :confused:

It is NOT: a bed bug, a silverfish, a cockroach (gross....) a flea, a firebrat, a termite or a beetle you find on your flowers.

Here is the description:

1) the size of the head on a straight pin

2) exoskeleton....or at least seems crunchy when you squish it.

3) a dark brown/black color

3) sort of "hop" or "jump" like a mexican jumping bean when they move, but don't really seem to have visible wings or legs.

4) I don't like them and while I do not have any, I want to know what they are. :dance:

Anyone recognize them from the description?

Nobody?

Oh, and maybe it DOES have wings, but they are too small to see.

Have know idea what you are talking about but make sure you keep him up there. I have enough creatures down here. :wink:

If you don't have them then how do you know about them? Did you see them at a friend's?

I don't remember having a bug like that, and I would have sworn we had every type of bug known to that area when we lived in Brooklyn...... :lol:

I have a friend who has them, and that's why I don't have a photo. She only has "a few" but they are grossing her out. :rolleyes2:

I don't think she would take a photo of them, because she is usually running the other direction.

Someone told her "spring tail" but when we google it, we really don't see the same kind of bug.
