Not bugs but beetles - a longhorn, Cerambycidae, to be precise. Rhagium inquisitor perhaps. I'm a bit busy but you should be able to find it at: Lepturinae

Rhagium mordax I think ("Black-spotted Longhorn Beetle").
Thanks for the link Paul, I hadn't seen that one before.

Rhagium mordax Is found throughout the British Isles. In suitable habitat it can be found in the North West. |

Im sorry I havent a photograph so I hope I can explain these bugs well!
Noticed them at around 9pm as it started to get cooler. I was on Arran and on the beach and they kind of looked like half woodlouse/flea and half fly. They looked clear and could jump a great distance. They seemed to be feeding on the decomposing seaweed. Thousands of them jumping around and leaving very small indents on the sand.
Anyone any idea what these things are? Never seen them anywhere else? | | | |
