ID of Tiny inverts on glass

[Ernie C]

I noticed these swarming on my glass. They feel hard/grainy. When I was trying to get some out on a napkin they appeared to have legs wiggling so I’m pretty sure they aren’t flatworms.

Well they look like flatworms...but they dont have legs... @KJ

If you see legs unlikely to be flatworms or chiton- the first 2 things that come to mind. Can you post pic of it in a napkin? If your phone has macro mode you may be able to get a decent magnified image.

I have a video, they don’t move like flat worms. Thought they were pods and they are hard like sand. How can I post a video on here? They also look like they have antennas. They are tiny can’t get a better pic.

Ok. Got some better pics

Actually I removed the lense from a cat laser toy and taped it over my iPhone camera. [emoji12]
