Ewww!


The ONLY good thing about living this far north is there aren't a lot of insects about. However, I found this little cutie while cleaning this evening, and just had to post it. It's a Pseudoscorpion. Related to both spiders and scorpions (yet neither), this tiny bug is found all over the world. Harmless predators, they eat spiders and winged insects many times their size. I let it live, just because it is so cool looking. Awwww..!

So that's what those little buggers are. I always wondered. I'd see them in the house every now and again. Eat spiders, do they? Well, they can't be all bad. I'm just catching now up on your blog because it's been about two months since my last visit.
