Ok Not really Lizards.... but Grasshoppers! Or were they Sandhoppers? When we went down to Delaware this year we only attempted to go to the beach twice. The first day, almost as soon as we got there, the lifeguards demanded that everyone get out of the water due to a pending Thunderstorm. The second time we went the beach and the ocean were covered with grasshoppers. Not one or two but thousands. As you were sitting on the beach, they were jumping all over you. This one was perched on Lexi's beach ball. He was joined later by some friends. When we were swimming we were catching them and watching them hop away. Fortunately for them - they float. Grasshoppers are not very good swimmers.
I searched the internet and this is not a normal phenomenon. Some suggests a strong wind brought them in from some where else but no one seems to know for sure. Although creepy at first, it was kind of neat to be part of something so rare and unusual.
