is just like any elementary particle except that for the most part they have an extemely brief existance. so brief in fact that their creation and destruction do not break the conservation of mass-energy law. they seem to spontaneously "flit" in and out of existance as pairs one particle and its anti-particle. hence they annaliate. they come "apparently" right out of space-time. its called quantum fluctuation and is mostly possible because of the uncertainty principle.
