Description

Spotted this bizarre little guy on my deck. He's only about 1mm long so I had to pull out my macro lens. According to Wikipedia it's a pseudoscorpion and feeds on dust mites and booklice.
It's amazing the tiny things that are all around us.

Check out a wheelbug. I found 1 in my shirt & had to look it up. It's a "true insect",1.5" w/a nasty bite & 1 of the most prevalent insects in my part of NC, but I had never seen 1 before. The world around us is TRULY DEVIANT and makes it all worthwhile. Duncan's work has inspired me & I'll be posting soon.
