I know this is going to turn out to be simple, but what on earth are these? They jump like fleas!

They don't look too problematic where they are, but I am kind of new at this so um, help? What are they, will they be a problem for small cirtus, what eats them, and how can I kill them if they need killing?

Not sure Callatya, but this thread over on the AP forum might be helpful

Cheers, Gazza. Can't see them on that thread, but man, I'm totally getting a bug catcher again ;-) What a fabulous thread! Love it!

Oh, you know, that would make sense. The jump was very similar. Cool :-) Will keep an eye out and see if I spot any :-)
