These tiny things show up on my glass at night. They almost look flat like flatworms but don’t seem to be all soft and squishy, and move faster - more like pods. Sorry for the bad photo quality it’s really hard to get a pic of them.

they look kinda like tiny chitons but i feel like they move a lot differently and faster. and they’re like almost transparent. (translucent?)
Huh that is strange
 
Chitons or limpets would be my first thought from the pics, but I don't know that they would move fast like pods.

The flatworm-like description leaves me wondering if they're isopods of some variety - some families with flat(ish) and round specimens include Serolidae, Plakarthriidae, and Sphaeromatidae.

If not, then I'd probably need better pics to guess.
