Pseudoscorpion


If my Scorpions cover band ever gets of the ground I think I will name them, "Pseudoscorpions."

I was lying on a dock at a lovely high altitude lake when I felt a little tingle on my neck. I reached back and brushed one of these

onto the dock. You have probably heard of the recent bedbug epidemic. Psuedoscorpions enjoy eating bedbugs. In fact everything I read about psuedoscorpions makes it sound like having some in the house is a good thing. They also eat clothes moths, booklice, ants, and mites.

Pseudoscorpions hitchhike on flying insects like the one pictures above.
