Default Psuedoscorpion!!

When was the last time any of you ever saw one of these?
Its a pseudoscorpion, don't know much more about that though.
Found it near a pond in Long Island NY.

I saw these, they're as cool as hell !!!

When we were bug collecting in South America, they would always be riding on the long horn harlequin beetles (Acrocinus longimanus)

I found this article from American Arachnology about pseudo scropions and the beetle - in case anyone is interested

Here's a Harlequin beetle Also cool as hell

Such a tiny thang! However, I could see folks smashing them thinking it was some sort of tick.

That's one col little bug. I am S...L...O...W...L...Y... getting over my bugs fears, but I am afraid it is a little slower than I would like... That thing is really cool though... I better watch before I start wanting to keep some bugs myself!
