    I have a few supersmall, extremly fast little animals that I have been noticing. They are way to small and fast to be photographed. They are about the size of a piss ant, seem to be bright red in the front and whit in the back and crawl very quickly over the LR.

    Any thoughts out there??

    Sorry for the piss ant referrance, I was just using it for a size referrance. I guess it could be one of the above, but it is way to small and fast to see if it looks like one of these. I sure hope it is;D.

    Thanks a ton!!

    mysis are bigger and not always good cause they eat copods.cocpods just eat waste which is great
