Pictured here crawling along my shorts. Apparently they’ll attach themselves to flys and other flying insects to grab a ride off to other places.

They’re so repulsive and yet so beautiful.

Often seen around books and sometimes called the “book scorpion”, they prey on booklice that like snacking on bookbinding glue
They are also a natural predator to carpet beetle larva, which are pests that eat natural fibers (like some carpets)

I’ve seen these, too! Unlike scorpions, which inject their venom through their tail stinger, pseudoscorpions inject their venom through their pincers! This seems a lot more logical tbh and it’s why they don’t have a tail
