Night critter????

[Unclejessie1967]

OK so i got the flashlight out for the first time. WOW! Had no idea all these critters were in there. One in perticular caught my eye. It looks the best i can describe a centapede w/long tenticles and keeps its rear 1/4 rolled up under it. Its really fast and doesnt seem to like light all that much. its clear maybe a lil brown,. Any idea??


Thanks
Eric

They're amphipods.

Here's a page that has some common Australian species.
