A little more detail is needed for this like color, any wings and any fecal droppings available. Take the little bugger in a clear plastic bag to your local county agricultural extension office.

*Why are jumps called jumps?In order to clear an "obstacle" of any sort, a horse must jump over it. Therefore these "obstacles" became known as jumps.
not entirely sure, but it is in the thousands.The best answer I found was 177,737 in 1990.
The elongate springtail is the common name of the Salina banksi.Specifically, the adjective "elongate" describes the insect's body. The noun "springtail" refers to the insect's hallmark long, flattened tail by which it jumps off surfaces. Its favored habitat is among leaf litter and moist soil worldwide, but particularly in tropical areas.
The sport of horse racing over jumps is called steeplechasing, while racing with no jumps is called flat racing.
Wood and plastic are the usual materials to manufacture horse jumps. Plastic jumps are more durable than wood jumps and can stand more impacts than wood jumps.
The rabbit jumps over the log in the forest.
