Anybody seen one of these babies before? I found two in my bedroom last year, then another one this year in my shower. Had a heck of a time identifying it. (This is just a photo off the internet.)



Turns out they're pseudo scorpions, which are neither scorpion or spider. They're ten-legged, and like spiders they are insect predators. For an idea of scale, this bugger is about 3/16" from pincer-tip to pincer-tip. Harmless to humans. there are supposedly 29 species that are native to Michigan.
