Pseudoscorpion

I've never seen one before - which considering how large it was (maybe 2mm) you'd think they would be easy to find - but not for me. This one was on my recycling bin tonight...

Pseudoscorpions, also known as false scorpions or book scorpions, are small, scorpion-like arachnids belonging to the order Pseudoscorpiones, also known as Pseudoscorpionida or Chelonethida. This is Ephippiochthonius tetrachelatus, which can be separated from the outher Chthoniidae by the little indent on the top of the claw.
