Arcitalitrus sylvaticus, known generally as the lawn shrimp, lawn prawn or landhopper, is a species of beach hopper in the family Talitridae. It was first described in 1879 by William Aitcheson Haswell as Talitrus sylvaticus.[1][2]
It is found in Australia and nearby areas of the Pacific but has been introduced to other places, like California, New Zealand, the British Isles, North Carolina and Florida.[3][4][5] The first recorded instance in California was in 1967.[5]
They die in dry conditions and drown if it is too wet. In California, especially, they are a sign of overwatering, as they will leave their homes to avoid drowning.[5]
