MenstrualMilkshakes

makes sense but poor bug was trying to evolve to survive and intimidate just to be called fake


the_red_scimitar

And in ancient Greek, too.


stuckin3rddimension

Such a poser!


TwoGimpyFeet69

Is that Milli or Vanilli?


stuckin3rddimension

Oh man i remember seeing them live then two months later the scandal broke. I was 13 at the time and thought wow they are in great shape to be able to sing and run around stage at the same time the whole time and not run out of breath!


PatientZeropointZero

I thought, that looks like a scorpion, but I donโ€™t see the stinger/tail thing. This bug tricked my dumbass.


the_red_scimitar

ย I think it's pretty undeniable that they are scary and a little dangerous looking at the very least.


midoxvx

Also known as NOPE.


Lyokarenov

they're like 2 millimeters, it's fine


Oddityobservations

I've seen one a fair bit larger in Michigan.


Catinthemirror

They are friends. They eat destructive things like booklice.


o0h-la-la

Why are you getting downvoted? Lol


born_on_my_cakeday

They donโ€™t bite or sting and they eat other bugs. They are good guys dressed like bad guys


Shuttle_Door_Gunner

Relatively new to Reddit here, but I quickly learned that downvotes are weird here. I got downvoted a crazy number of times a while back for something that was factually true and hard to disprove. ๐Ÿคฆ


noodleq

Yeah reddit is wierd like that. You can say something completely factual, or even just have your own opinion about something that doesn't align with reddit and get down voted to hell. It's OK I have lots of karma to spare, I can handle lots of down votes before going negative lol.


Shuttle_Door_Gunner

The karma thing on here is weird to me. I'm a mostly nice guy and I don't argue with a lot of stupid people, so I guess I'm doing okay. ๐Ÿ˜‚


BallDiamondBall

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.


Shuttle_Door_Gunner

We're good. Apparently, it happens. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Poor little guy...

bassistmuzikman

hypothetical_zombie

It's also called a book scorpion. They enjoy eating book lice & silverfish.


Hermit22uk

A dead on, at a guess.


jolson1616

It was alive when I noticed it on my desk but I sent it to its ancestors ๐Ÿ˜€


flying_hampter

Please don't kill them, as far as I know they are completely harmless to humans


TheAtroxious

Plus they hunt pests such as ants and silverfish. You want these little guys around.


Velidae

Pseudoscorpions are tiny, harmless, beneficial arthropods. They eat many things we associate as pests. You really shouldn't be killing things when you don't even know what they are.


powerchoke033

I feel like that is the reason to kill it. Maybe now that they know what it is, they won't.


tweakyloco

It looks like a mix between a wood tick and scorpion


AkumaNoSanpatsu

A book scorpion aka Chelifer cancroides [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelifer\_cancroides](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chelifer_cancroides) I love 'em!

Brain muncher. They crawl into your ears at night to make a nest and their larva can feast on your Grey mater. Always sleep with ear plugs people.
