Thousands of Sand Fleas Swarm Florida Beach in Unusual Sight

Satellite Beach, Florida, experienced an unusual event last week when thousands of sand fleas swarmed a section of the beach. The sight, captured on video and shared widely on social media, has drawn considerable attention. Denise Derrick Wright, who originally posted the video to Storyful, described the scene as "unbelievable." The video shows a dense concentration of the small creatures covering the sand, moving in a seemingly coordinated manner. While sand fleas are common on Florida beaches, this scale of infestation is unusual and has prompted questions about potential environmental factors. The event serves as a reminder of the unexpected phenomena that can occur in nature, even in familiar settings. FOX Weather picked up the video and shared it with their audience, illustrating the viral nature of such unusual events in the digital age.
