Pseudoscorpion
After getting out of the shower this morning I found this little guy on the bathroom wall. He stayed on the move, but I was able to grab my camera and get some photos of him with my new macro lens. He was about the size of an adult tick, so I enlarged this photo quite a bit to better show him. He was an aggressive little guy who wanted to use his claws to snap at the tissue I used to get him off the wall with. I have never seen one of these in Connecticut, but I guess they are common and like to eat spiders….this thing creeped me out, but was pretty cool to find :)
Not my video, but here is a You Tube video of a Pseudoscorpion in action.....

Now I have the heebie jeebies just thinking about him!
